Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. With a sharp knife, slice the top edge off the garlic bulb, (about 1/2 inch) exploding the tops of the cloves inside. Carefully peel the outer hull of the garlic bulb taking care not to break the cloves off from the bulb. Drizzle the olive oil on the exposed cloves and sprinkle with salt. Wrap in aluminum foil and bake for 35-40 minutes. Squeeze each clove and it should pop out of it's she'll and be spreadable.
