  • 3 oz Ghee * for Whole30 and Paleo or butter for other diets
  • 1 tsp Real Salt *
  • 1 Lemon, juiced and zested
  • 1 Tbsp Fresh Parsley (chopped)
  • 1 tsp Fresh Dill (chopped)
  • 1 Clove Garlic (minced)
  • Dash of White Pepper
  • 4 4.5 oz Wild Salmon Fillets

  3. Stir until combined.

  6. Bake, uncovered, on the top or second to top rack for 10-12 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. (145 degrees F)
  7. Alternately the fish can be broiled on medium/high on the second to top rack for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through. This method will give you a bit more crunchy, caramelized crust. (Place it directly on the pan or use tin foil. Do not use parchment paper or a Silpat for this method.)
