Cook the Salmon
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes. Flip the fillets carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Finish with Butter
Remove the skillet from heat and top each salmon fillet with a generous dollop of the lemon tarragon butter. Allow it to melt over the hot salmon.
