Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (about 4-6 oz. each)
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp lemon juice
4 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tbsp fresh parsley
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp melted butter
lemon slices (for garnish (optional))

Method

Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving, until the skin is crisp and the salmon is almost cooked through.
Flip salmon carefully and cook for 1 minute more.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 2 tbsp melted butter and 4 minced garlic cloves and cook for 30–60 seconds.
Add 2 tbsp lemon juice and cook 30–60 seconds more. Then add the 2 tbsp fresh parsley. Remove from heat and serve immediately with lemon slices for garnish.

Notes

- Ensure salmon skin is very dry for maximum crispiness.
- Don't overcrowd the pan; cook salmon in batches if necessary.
- Adjust garlic and lemon to your personal taste preference.
