1
Season the Salmon
Pat the salmon filets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper to taste.
2
Cook the Salmon
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the salmon filets, skin-side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes. Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through and flaky. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.

3
Melt the Butter
In the same skillet used for the salmon, reduce the heat to low and add the remaining butter. Allow it to melt gently.
4
Add Garlic and Lemon Juice
Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then add the fresh lemon juice and stir to combine.
5
Finish the Sauce
Stir in the chopped parsley and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer for a minute.

6
Plate the Dish
Place the cooked salmon filets on a serving platter or individual plates. Drizzle the lemon butter sauce generously over the salmon.
7
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with extra parsley if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious salmon filet with lemon butter sauce!
