Ingredients:
- 4 salmon steaks, skin-on (6 ounces each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 head of garlic, roasted and cloves separated
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for the roasting process.
2. Season the Salmon:
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Brush this fragrant mixture over the salmon steaks, ensuring they are evenly coated.
3. Roast the Salmon:
Place the seasoned salmon steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
4. Make the Roasted Garlic and Herb Butter:
While the salmon is roasting, prepare the flavorful butter. In a small bowl, mix together the roasted garlic cloves, softened butter, parsley, dill, lemon zest, and juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve the Roasted Salmon:
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and transfer it to individual plates. Top each salmon steak with a generous dollop of the roasted garlic and herb butter. Garnish with capers and additional lemon wedges for a pop of freshness.
Serve immediately and savor the delectable flavors of this keto-friendly dish.
Tips:
- For a crispy skin, pat the salmon steaks dry before seasoning and roasting.
- Roast the garlic cloves for 30-40 minutes, or until they are soft and golden brown.
- Use a microplane zester to get the finest lemon zest for a more intense flavor.
- Adjust the amount of capers to your personal preference for a briny tang.
