PAN-SEARED SALMON with Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce

A Video Recipe by: Toasty Apron, YouTube, March 22, 2023

This 20-minute crispy pan-seared salmon, drenched in a delicious lemon garlic butter sauce, is a go-to favourite of mine for busy weeknight dinners. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and bursting with flavour from the pan sauce. It goes great with a simple side of rice, potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad - here's how to make it!

INGREDIENTS: ► Salmon fillet (I prefer skin-on but you can use skinless if you prefer) ► Lemon (1) ► Garlic (4 cloves) ► Butter (4 tbsp) ► Parsley (2-3 tbsp, chopped) ► Salt (to salt salmon, and 1/2 tsp for sauce) ► Black pepper (1/4 tsp) PREP: ► Squeeze lemon juice (1/4 cup) from 1 lemon ► Grate lemon zest (1 tsp) using the remainder of the lemon ► Mince 4 cloves of garlic (1.5 tbsp) ► Finely chop parsley (2-3 tbsp) SEAR SALMON: ► Pre-heat fry pan over medium heat ► While pan heats up, add salt & pepper to both sides of salmon fillet ► Please salmon into pan, skin-side down (if using skin-on salmon) ► Press salmon down with a spatula for 5-10 seconds, gently but firmly, to prevent buckling ► Cook for 5-6 minutes until side of fish turns opaque about two-thirds of the way up ► Flip and sear for 2-3 minutes until thickest part reaches 125°F MAKE SAUCE: ► In the same pan over medium heat, sauté garlic & lemon zest for 30 sec ► Mix in lemon juice, salt and black pepper ► Bring pan to low heat and add butter, stirring until melted and creamy ► Mix in parsley ► Add salmon back to pan sauce, coat in sauce for 30-60 sec ► Remove from heat, bring salmon to plate and pour sauce on top

Plate and bite!

ENJOY!
