What’s a dish that’s just as perfect for brunch, lunch OR dinner? This right here folks, this Slow Roasted Salmon served with a creamy Lemon Butter Sauce is as delicious as it is versatile!

Why you should be slow roasting Salmon!

Slow roasting salmon is a game changer. It’s my favorite way to eat salmon because the flesh is PERFECTLY cooked, it’s buttery and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and so simple to cook. Plus, you can season and baste the salmon with your favorite seasonings or marinade.

How to serve Slow Roasted Salmon?

This slow roasted salmon is flavored simply with some melted butter (brown butter is even better!), lemon, salt and pepper. But the whole is so much greater than the sum of its parts in this dish, and the flavor of the salmon really comes to life. 

I can’t get enough of how amazing this simple dish tastes!

I serve this lemon slow roasted salmon with an easy sauce made with the same flavors that I added to the salmon. This creamy buttery lemon butter sauce has a nice lemony kick to it, and a good amount of garlic. The dish is served with a side of pan-fried asparagus, red onions and a spring salad. It’s a great spring-time dish, with some simple ingredients, but big, bold flavors.

Why I love slow roasted salmon!

Another reason why I love slow roasting salmon is because it’s the perfect way to cook salmon for a crowd. No longer do I have to pan fry salmon fillets one at a time and keep them warm till the rest are cooked. This way I can place all the salmon fillets in one sheet pan and cook them all together.

Buttery Lemon Slow Roasted Salmon with Lemon Butter Sauce - Drizzle lemon juice and sprinkle salt over the butter brushed Salmon and let it marinade for a few minutes.

Here’s how I prep for this slow roasted salmon dish

I first start preparing the butter. I melt the butter (I actually make brown butter most of the time, but that’s optional). While the butter is melting, I prepare the salmon by pat drying it and cutting it into the sizes I want. I usually cut it into 3 ounce pieces for smaller portions/lighter meals, and about 5-6 ounce pieces if I want to serve this dish as a main. Then I brush the salmon fillets with the melted butter, and season them and let them marinate for about 30 minutes. While the salmon is marinating, I cut up all the vegetables and ingredients that I need. This includes chopping the garlic, shallots, red onion, asparagus and making sure the salad leaves are ready.

When the prepping is done, and the salmon is in the oven, it gives me just enough time to make the lemon butter sauce and to pan fry the asparagus.

That’s it! You can serve a family or a crowd with this delicious and impressive meal, and this way the buttery slow roasted salmon will be freshly cooked and warm, with minimal effort on your part.

If you’re still not convinced about slow roasting salmon, let me try one more time. Here’s why I think you HAVE to make this butter and lemon slow roasted salmon! 🙂

  • The salmon is perfectly cooked. There’s really nothing better than soft, buttery, juicy salmon!
  • The salmon cooks more evenly. Due to the low heat of the oven, the salmon cooks slowly and more evenly. While the edges might be SLIGHTLY more cooked than the middle, NO PART of the salmon is over-cooked or dry.
  • This slow and low approach of cooking salmon is more flexible and more fool-proof, and is a very easy way to cook fish. Salmon (and other kinds of fish) are notorious for drying out quickly. While a pan-fried piece of salmon is so delicious, the high heat will either dry out the exterior and the edges of the salmon if it gets overcooked even slightly! But by slow roasting salmon, the salmon still tastes soft and juicy even if you end up overcooking it for 5 minutes! So it’s GREAT for beginners. 🙂
  • You can flavor the salmon any way you want! Because of the low heat of the oven, the marinade and spices won’t burn. You can even add a glorious teriyaki glaze and the salmon will taste perfect with no burnt sugar bits or burnt garlic bits. But honestly, this simple lemon and butter marinade is my absolute favorite.
  • This slow roasted salmon can be served hot, warm, at room temperature OR COLD! And it even tastes SO GOOD the next day with some eggs and toast like this egg in a hole recipe.

Convinced? Good.

How to check if the salmon is done?

If you have a food thermometer (or temperature probe), the salmon should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (62°C). I ALWAYS use a food thermometer so that I get accurate results every time, but if you don’t have one, no worries. This salmon is completely cooked through without being the least bit dry. I have on occasion let this salmon cook to about 155-160°F, and it STILL tastes incredibly juicy. The only thing that you notice at that temperature is the white albumin that leaks out of the salmon. This is just coagulated protein, and while it’s totally harmless, it doesn’t look great. But between you and me, it that does happen, you can easily wipe it off, and no one will know. 😉

Buttery Lemon Slow Roasted Salmon with Lemon Butter Sauce - Get the tips for making perfect slow roasted Salmon. Serve it with a simple side of Salad and grilled vegetables (or Pan fried Asparagus).

You can check the doneness of your salmon by inserting a fork or a thin knife into the salmon. If it goes in easily, then it’s ready. Another test is to gently press the top of the salmon, and if you feel like it’s just starting to flake, then it’s done. But the sure-fire way to get perfect, consistent results is with a temperature probe.

Can I still get crispy skin with this recipe?

If you are a crispy skin fan like me, you may start missing the crispy skin with this slow roasting technique. But there is a way to still get that delicious crispy skin if you really want to!

One option for that would be to sear the skin side on a very hot pan just before serving the salmon if you like.

Honestly though, this lemon slow roasted salmon is so buttery and flavorful, I never actually miss the crispy skin with this dish. BUT, leftovers are a different matter! With leftovers, I separate the flesh from the skin and serve the flesh separately (and cold). Then I pan fry the salmon skin until it’s crispy and then it’s shredded and added as a topping. 🙂

Buttery Lemon Slow Roasted Salmon with Lemon Butter Sauce - Perfectly cooked, juicy Salmon that you can serve a crowd! Easy to make and delicious!

So if you’re still wondering about how to slow roast salmon, you should definitely give this butter lemon slow roasted salmon a try! It’ll change the way you cook salmon for a family. And after reading this post (and recipe) you will definitely learn how to make slow roasted salmon perfectly! Deliciously soft and juicy salmon with minimal stress and effort is something I can always get behind.

Ingredients:

Slow Roasted Salmon

  • 4 x 3 oz fresh salmon fillets Please see NOTES for larger portions
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or 1/4 cup brown butter
  • Sea salt
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 1/2 - 1 lemon zest only
  • Freshly cracked black pepper

Lemon Butter Sauce

  • 1/4 cup melted butter or melted brown butter
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice about 1/2 lemon
  • ½ shallot minced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tbsp water or white wine
  • 1 tbsp cream
  • Salt
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp chopped dill
  • 1/2 tbsp chopped parsley

Pan-fried Asparagus

  • 1 lb asparagus woody ends chopped
  • 1 tbsp oil / butter
  • 3 tbsp drained capers
  • 1/2 tbsp chili flakes optional
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 medium red onion thinly sliced

To Serve

  • Spring salad mix

Instructions:

Slow Roasted Salmon

  • When you buy the salmon, make sure to get 12 oz (or more) of the center belly cut of salmon, so you have evenly-sized salmon pieces. Pat dry the salmon, and cut it evenly into 4 portions that weight about 3 oz each (for light meals). See notes for preparing salmon for dinner, or as a larger meal.
  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and brush the bottom with the melted butter (or brown butter). Sprinkle the buttered parchment paper with a little salt (where you would place the salmon). Place the salmon pieces on the tray with at least 1 - 1 1/2 inches of space between each piece.
  • Generously brush the top and sides of the salmon pieces with butter. Drizzle some lemon juice (about 2 - 3 tbsp) over the salmon, followed by some sea salt. Place the salmon in the oven and set the timer to 10 minutes. Cook time may vary between 12 - 20 minutes, depending on the thickness and weight of the salmon. Prepare the lemon butter sauce and asparagus while the salmon is cooking.
  • Check the doneness of your salmon after 10 minutes. A fork or thin sharp knife inserted into the thickest part of the salmon should go in easily with no resistance if it's done. OR you can check the internal temperature of the salmon - if it's 145°F, then it's done. Check every few minutes after the 10 minute mark. If the surface looks translucent, don't worry. The salmon is still perfectly cooked.
  • When the salmon is cooked, remove from the oven and brush the top with a little more butter (optional), and sprinkle some black pepper, and zest some lemon on top. Let the salmon rest for a few minutes.

Lemon Butter Sauce

  • Finely chop the garlic and shallots.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the melted butter and lemon juice with the garlic and shallots. Bring the mix to a simmer over medium-high heat, while whisking. Whisk until the sauce has emulsified.
  • Once the the mix is emulsified and the shallots and garlic have softened, add the sugar, water/white wine and cream. Season with salt to taste. Whisk until the sauce comes to a simmer. Remove from the heat and stir in the dill and parsley. The sauce is now ready to be served.

Asparagus

  • Cut the asparagus spears in half or into 3 pieces. Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat with the butter or oil.
  • When the butter / oil is hot, add the asparagus, capers and sprinkle with a generous pinch of sea salt. Leave the asparagus in the hot pan for 2 - 3 minutes to slightly char them. Add the chili flakes and red onions and toss to combine. Remove from the heat.

Serving

  • Place the asparagus on a serving platter, and carefully place the salmon over the asparagus (the salmon is very fragile, so use a spatula to move them). Sprinkle more chopped herbs (dill, parsley, or chives) on top.
  • Serve with a spring salad and the lemon butter sauce on the side.

Tips & Tricks

NOTES on salmon 
Use 3 oz fillets for light meals (brunch or lunch), 12 ounces in total for 4 people.
Use 5 - 6 oz fillets for larger mains (dinners). 20 - 24 ounces in total for 4 people.
You can easily add more salmon fillets, as long as you use a larger baking tray to accommodate more salmon, and space them properly. 
NOTES on cook time 
The cook time for larger salmon fish fillets is closer to 20 minutes. Make sure to check the internal temperature for accurate results. If you see albumin being produced, then the salmon is starting to overcook, so take it out immediately.

      Hi Leigh!
      The temperature is noted in step 2 in the recipe card (250°F). I haven’t tried steaks, but it can work! the timing may change depending on the size and thickness of the steak though. I highly recommend a meat thermometer so you can check the internal temperature of the fish.
      Hope that helps!

    Beautiful! I only had tail sections, so I cooked mine substantially longer (although I was distracted by 2 young kids so I probably cooked it longer than I could have) but it didn’t matter! Still lovely! Although next time I will definitely buy belly portions and cook for a shorter amount of time to try it with the ‘just set’ middle I know you can achieve from this method. I served mine with a horseradish cream sauce (I made a mix of horseradish cream, greek yogurt, mayo and home grown dill). The whole family enjoyed it!

I’ve never made salmon before but I’m a huge fan of it and wanted to make some for my boyfriend and our son for dinner. It was delicious. I’m definitely making this again. So juicy and the flavors go so well together!

      Hi Christa!
      I would go with one of these options,
      1) Steamed potatoes (and asparagus) tossed in extra lemon butter sauce or as a potato salad. You could even incorporate the salad into this too.
      2) Roasted potatoes (roasted in butter or brown butter)
      3) Potato gratin (a richer side dish option)

      I hope that helps!

    I love salmon but have always hated cooking it in a pan because I never seem to get it right – the centre is always undercooked and the outside overcooked and sticking to the pan. This is the easiest way to cook salmon well that I’ve tried yet!

      Hi Cher!
      If you don’t have cream, you can use coconut cream (it will have a coconut flavor though), or any plant based milk or regular milk as well. If you prefer not to have any kind of milk, you can add more water instead as well – it just won’t have the creaminess that dairy will add to it. 🙂
      I hope that helps!
