Lemon Garlic Butter Salmon Fillets
Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 oz / 170g each)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Directions:
Begin by seasoning the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Place the salmon in the skillet skin-side down and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Carefully flip the fillets over and add the butter, minced garlic, and lemon juice to the pan. As the salmon cooks for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, use a spoon to baste the fish with the buttery mixture. Once done, remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the salmon with lemon zest and chopped parsley. Serve the salmon fillets immediately for the best flavor. Enjoy!
