Melt 2½ tablespoons of butter on a low flame in a small sauce pan (the rest will be melted and placed into the pan for baking if no cooking spray is available).
Add garlic and sauté on low for about a minute. Add all but 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, shut off flame, and remove from heat.
Spray the bottom of a baking dish lightly with cooking spray (or remaining melted butter) and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice.
