We are a salmon-loving family. It is our favorite fish/seafood. We love it so much that we eat it on a regular basis. This is another simple, easy to make recipe that requires minimal ingredients and it is ready in 20 minutes. The seared fish and the garlic lemon butter sauce...ohhh, seriously delicious!
INGREDIENTS:
4 (6 oz.) skinless salmon fillets (about 1-inch thick)*
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, diced into 1 tablespoon pieces
1/2 teaspoon honey
2 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
Lemon slices for garnish (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
To make the garlic lemon butter sauce:
Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Add garlic and saute until lightly golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice. Let sauce simmer until reduced by half (to about 3 tablespoons), about 3 minutes. Stir in butter and whisk until combined. Set sauce aside.
Remove salmon fillets from refrigerator and allow to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Dab both sides of salmon dry with paper towels, season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once oil is shimmering add salmon and cook about 4 minutes on the first side until golden brown on bottom then flip and cook salmon on opposite side until salmon has cooked through, about 2-3 minutes longer.
Plate salmon (leaving oil in pan) and drizzle each serving generously with butter sauce, sprinkle with parsley and garnish with lemon slices if desired. Serve immediately.
Enjoy!
*Note: I used salmon fillets with skin on.
