Instructions
- 1
Pat the salmon fillets dry and season them well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- 2
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon flesh-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
- 3
Carefully flip the salmon. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until it easily flakes with a fork. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
- 4
In the same skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- 5
Pour in the chicken broth (or wine), lemon juice, and lemon zest. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom, until the sauce reduces and slightly thickens.
- 6
Return the salmon to the skillet, spoon the lemon butter sauce over the fillets, and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices before serving.
