Whisk everything together. 3- Place salmon on prepared baking sheet. 4- Pour the butter mixture over the salmon. 5- Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes. 6- Fold the sides of the foil over the salmon.

Be careful not to burn the fish! 9- Remove from the oven. Using a spoon, pour some of the butter sauce left in the foil onto the salmon before serve.

Check the salmon every 5 mins after the cooking time. * The salmon cannot be wrapped in parchment paper because of the boiler step.
