Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and slightly golden. Stir in 1/4 cup of white wine or broth and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Let this simmer gently for 5-7 minutes until it reduces and becomes glossy, then remove from heat and set aside.
- While the sauce simmers, pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy texture when cooked. Season generously with salt, freshly cracked black pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, a pinch of onion powder, and 1 teaspoon of paprika on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until the oil starts to shimmer. Carefully place the seasoned salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
- Gently flip the salmon fillets using a spatula and reduce the heat to medium. Cook again for another 3-4 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 125-130°F for medium doneness.
- If needed, rewarm the lemon butter sauce over low heat, then stir in chopped fresh parsley. Plate your Salmon Fillet with Lemon Butter Sauce, drizzling the rich sauce over each piece.
