Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Pat salmon dry with paper towels.

In a bowl, mix salt, black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Rub the mixture onto the salmon fillets.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter for about 20-30 seconds until fully melted. Stir in minced garlic and lemon juice, then let it sit for a minute to allow the flavors to infuse.

Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet and evenly drizzle the garlic butter over the top.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 140°F.

Optional: broil for 2 minutes for a golden, slightly crispy finish.

Let the salmon rest for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with fresh parsley to garnish.
