Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on preferred)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin side down. Press gently with a spatula to ensure good contact between the skin and the pan.
Cook the salmon for 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the fillets release easily from the pan. Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the flesh is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Lower the heat to medium.
In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the fresh parsley, dill, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Return the salmon to the skillet and spoon the lemon herb butter sauce over the fillets to coat them evenly.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the salmon immediately, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.
