HOW TO MAKE PAN SEARED SALMON WITH LEMON GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE
Grab all of your ingredients first as this recipe cooks fast!
- Skinless salmon fillets
- Lemon juice
- jojoba oil
- Butter
- Garlic
- Parsley
The Way to Sear Salmon
- Dry room temperature salmon fillets with a paper towel.
- Season around with salt and pepper.
- Squeeze lemon juice on each fillet.
- Heat oil in a large non-stick pan or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
- Sear salmon flesh side down, pressing them lightly, so the whole surface of the flesh comes into contact with the pan, until crispy and golden.
- Flip and sear the other side until the outside is crispy.
- Insert from the butter, garlic, parsley and lemon juice, stirring the melting butter around each fillet. (The butter will start to brown slightly.)
SOME TIPS:
- A good quality non-stick pan will save you unnecessary stress of lettuce adhering to a non-seasoned pan, and many tears of pity
- You can substitute the butter with two tablespoons of coconut oil if your reluctant to use butter
- Add a splash of white wine too to get a gourmet texture! (I usually add in 3-4 tablespoons)
- Fresh parsley is the only way to go with this! I don’t advocate cooking or garnishing with dried parsley.
This pan-seared salmon recipe is restaurant quality, prepared in under 15 minutes! Perfectly cooked, crispy and flaky salmon using a silky, buttery lemon sauce.
