Butter Garlic Salmon Recipe

Instructions

1. Preparation: Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it’s shimmering. Carefully place the salmon fillets, skin-side down, in the skillet.
3. Sear the Salmon: Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes, letting the skin get crispy and golden brown. Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove the salmon and set aside on a plate.
4. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Allow it to melt and bubble, then add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add Lemon Juice: Pour in the lemon juice and let it simmer for another minute, allowing the flavors to meld perfectly.
6. Return the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets back into the skillet. Spoon the garlic butter sauce over the top, ensuring each fillet is well-coated.
7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the salmon. Garnish with lemon slices and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
