Melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat for a minute or two.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).

Coat a baking sheet with a small amount of melted butter to prevent sticking.

Use a basting brush to generously coat the top of the salmon with the melted butter.

Season the salmon with freshly cracked black pepper, sea salt, and a little bit of Old Bay seasoning.

Add lemon zest on top of the salmon.

Sprinkle crushed garlic evenly over the salmon.

Layer thin slices of lemon on top of the salmon.

Add more fresh parsley on top of the salmon.

Drizzle a little more melted butter over the salmon and season with more salt and pepper.

Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes.

Check the salmon to ensure it is medium-rare and not overcooked, which would dry it out.

Garnish the salmon with more fresh parsley and drizzle additional butter before serving.
