Pan-Seared Salmon with Lemon Butter Sauce

Hey guys, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite dishes to cook at home – Pan-Seared Salmon with Lemon Butter Sauce. It’s a simple recipe that’s easy to make, yet it tastes like it came straight out of a fancy restaurant.

First, I start by seasoning my salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Then, I heat up some olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, I add the salmon fillets to the pan, skin side down.

I let the salmon cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until it’s golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender and flaky on the inside. While the salmon is cooking, I prepare the lemon butter sauce.

To make the sauce, I melt some butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once the butter is melted, I add some minced garlic and cook it for a minute or so, until it’s fragrant. Then, I add some fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt and whisk everything together until it’s well combined.

Once the salmon is done cooking, I remove it from the pan and place it on a plate. Then, I pour the lemon butter sauce over the salmon and garnish it with some fresh parsley.

The result is a delicious and flavorful dish that’s perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The salmon is perfectly cooked and the lemon butter sauce adds a bright and tangy flavor that complements the fish perfectly.

I hope you guys give this recipe a try and let me know how it turns out! It’s definitely one of my go-to dishes when I want something quick, easy, and delicious.
