Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC).
  2. Generously grease a gratin dish or baking dish large enough to hold the salmon steaks side-by-side with a small amount of butter.
  3. Place the salmon steaks in the prepared dish.
  4. Season the fish with a squeeze of lemon juice, a generous grinding of black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Dot the top of the salmon steaks with the remaining butter.
  6. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the fish is opaque, hot, and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. While the salmon bakes, coarsely chop a mixture of fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, mint, lemon thyme, and tarragon).
  9. Scatter half of the chopped herbs onto a warm serving platter.
  10. Carefully transfer the salmon steaks from the baking dish to the bed of herbs on the serving platter.
  11. Spoon the buttery cooking juices from the baking dish over the fish.
  12. Scatter the remaining chopped herbs over the top of the salmon.
  13. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and steamed new potatoes.
