Follow these simple steps to create your Salmon with Garlic Lemon Butter Sauce:

1. Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Heat a Skillet: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Allow it to foam slightly but not brown.
3. Add Garlic: Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
4. Cook the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down (if skin-on). Cook for about 4-5 minutes. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5. Add Lemon Juice: Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the salmon fillets in the last minute of cooking. This will enhance the flavors and create a beautiful sauce.
6. Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the salmon for a fresh burst of flavor and color.
7. Serve: Plate the salmon, drizzling the garlic lemon butter sauce from the pan over each fillet.

By following these straightforward steps, you’ll create a meal that’s not only delectable but also ridiculously easy to prepare.
