Ingredients
- 4 med (680 g) Salmon fillets (about 6-8 ounces each) skin-on or skinless
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) Olive oil
- 4 tbsp (60 g) Unsalted butter
- 4 large Garlic clvoes minced
- ½ tsp Salt to taste
- ½ tsp Black pepper powder to taste
- 1 Lemon cut into wedges
- Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This helps ensure a good sear. Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper.4 med Salmon fillets (about 6-8 ounces each), ½ tsp Salt , ½ tsp Black pepper powder
- Heat the Pan: Place a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat up until it shimmers. This should take about 1-2 minutes.2 tbsp Olive oil
- Sear the Salmon: Carefully place the salmon fillets in the hot skillet, skin-side down if they have skin. Cook without moving for about 3-4 minutes until lightly golden (or the skin is crispy and golden brown). Gently flip the salmon fillets using a spatula and cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter and minced garlic to the pan and allow the butter to melt, swirling it around with the garlic. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the butter turns a light brown and develops a nutty aroma. This is your garlic butter sauce.4 tbsp Unsalted butter, 4 large Garlic clvoes
- Finish the Salmon: Transfer the seared salmon to a plate and squeeze lemon juice over the salmon to add a bright and zesty flavor. Garnish the salmon with lemon slices and fresh parsley for color and freshness.1 Lemon, Fresh parsley
- Serve Immediately: Plate the pan-seared garlic butter salmon and serve hot with additional lemon wedges on the side. This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed vegetables, rice, or a simple green salad.
