Creating Garlic Butter Salmon is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients to have them ready for cooking. Take the salmon fillets out of the fridge and allow them to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes.
2. Season Salmon: Pat the salmon dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper generously.
3. Heat Pan: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Allow it to foam slightly.
4. Cook Salmon: Add the salmon fillets, skin side down, to the hot pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, without moving them, until the skin is crispy and the salmon is cooked halfway through.
5. Flip the Salmon: Carefully flip the fillets using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until they are cooked to your liking.
6. Make Garlic Butter Sauce: Remove the salmon from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
7. Add Parsley: Stir in the freshly chopped parsley and remove the skillet from heat.
8. Drizzle Sauce: Place the salmon fillets back in the skillet, drizzling the garlic butter sauce over them.
9. Serve: Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
