Garlic Butter Lemon Salmon 
A flavor-packed skillet winner—juicy, buttery, and done in minutes!
Ingredients :4 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
3 tbsp unsalted butter
5 cloves garlic (minced)
Juice of 1 lemon
Zest of 1 lemon
2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and cracked black pepper to taste
Lemon slices (for garnish)
Optional: 1/2 tsp chili flakes for heat
How to Make It :
Sear the Salmon:Pat salmon dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear fillets for 3–4 minutes per side until crispy on the outside and juicy inside — the ultimate quick salmon dinner hack.
Sauté the Garlic Butter:Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet and toss in the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant — this step builds that next-level buttery flavor punch.
Add Lemon Magic:Stir in lemon juice, zest, and parsley. Let it bubble for 30 seconds to infuse the sauce with zesty, herby goodness.
Finish with a Simmer:Nestle the salmon back into the pan, spoon the lemon garlic butter over the fillets, and simmer for another 1–2 minutes — your easy weeknight seafood win.
Garnish & Serve:Top with fresh lemon slices and extra parsley. Serve with rice, veggies, or roasted potatoes for that perfect comfort plate.
