Pan-Seared Salmon with Lemon Butter Sauce

Ingredients You’ll Need

Gather these ingredients for a tasty experience:

  • 4 salmon fillets (skin-on, about 6 ounces each)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Let’s Get Cooking!

Ready to make your kitchen smell amazing? Follow these simple steps:

  1. Start by seasoning both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Once the oil is hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
  4. Carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until they reach your desired doneness. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set it aside.
  5. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Allow it to melt and then add minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but be careful not to burn it.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for another minute, allowing it to reduce slightly.
  7. Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the lemon butter sauce over the top.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

And just like that, you've got yourself a plate of pure deliciousness. Serve this up with your favorite sides, maybe some rice or steamed veggies, and watch everyone come back for seconds. Enjoy every bite!
