Description

Sizzling garlic butter salmon captures the essence of coastal living, combining fresh ingredients into an elegant dish.


Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then place them in the skillet.
  4. Cook each side of the salmon for about 4-5 minutes until cooked through and golden brown.
  5. Add lemon juice over the salmon and let it simmer for a minute.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For enhanced flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or dill alongside the garlic. Let the salmon rest briefly after cooking to retain moisture.
