2. Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Season the fillets generously with salt and pepper.
3. Make the Lemon Herb Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dill, and thyme. Mix until well combined.
4. Top the Salmon: Spread a generous dollop of the lemon herb butter over each salmon fillet, covering them evenly.
