    Lay the salmon fillets in the dish and pour the melted butter and lemon juice over the top, coating both sides. Thinly slice the green onions and mince the parsley, then mix them with the garlic salt and lemon-pepper. Scatter the mixture evenly over the fillets.

Notes & Tips

This is the whole point of a weeknight fish dinner: on the table in 20 minutes, no marinade, no babysitting a pan. The butter-and-lemon bath keeps the salmon from drying out, so don't skip it. Lemon-pepper seasoning does the heavy lifting on flavor here, but if you only have plain pepper, add an extra squeeze of lemon and you're fine. Pull it the second it flakes. Salmon goes from perfect to dry fast, and there's no coming back from overcooked. Rice, a green salad, or roasted veg on the side and you're done.
