Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Line a baking dish with parchment paper.

Place the salmon fillets in the baking dish, skin-side down.

Drizzle olive oil over the salmon and season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, chopped parsley, dill, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes.

Spread the herb-garlic mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.

Dot the top with small pieces of butter.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
