This is the best salmon I've ever made and the recipe is almost foolproof. It's nearly impossible to end up with dry salmon because the salmon bakes in a mixture of butter, honey, and lemon juice. Simple ingredients that pack a ton of flavor. It's a fast and easy recipe for casual weeknight dinners or fancy dinner parties. You'll impress both your family or your party guests with it. Cleanup is as easy as tossing away foil.

(4) To a microwave-safe glass measuring cup or bowl, add the butter and heat on high power to melt, about 1 minute.

(5) Stir in the honey and lemon juice. Pour or spoon about two-thirds of the mixture over the salmon; reserve remainder.

(6) Evenly season with Morton Kosher Salt and pepper, to taste.

(7) Seal up the foil. Likely you will need to...
