Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter until it sizzles.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
- Add minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
- Carefully flip the fillets, squeezing fresh lemon juice over them, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
- Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with olive oil or coconut oil.
- Experiment with adding herbs like dill or thyme for an extra flavor boost.
- Ensure your salmon is at room temperature before cooking for even results.
