Pan Seared Atlantic Salmon Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

   In a large pot, boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.

2. 2

   Mash the Potatoes

   Add milk, salt, and pepper to the potatoes and mash until smooth. Set aside and keep warm.

3. 3

   Cook the Greens

   In a large skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the wilted greens and sauté until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

4. 4

   Pan-Seared Salmon

   Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. In the same skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and sear for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown.

5. 5

   Finish the Salmon

   Flip the salmon fillets and add butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, basting the salmon with the melted butter. Add lemon juice in the last minute of cooking.

6. 6

   Serve

   Plate the mashed potatoes, top with the pan-seared salmon, and serve with sautéed greens. Drizzle lemon butter sauce over the salmon and garnish with chopped parsley.
