Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Salmon
Start by patting the King Salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a nice sear when cooking.
- 2
Season the Salmon
Drizzle the salmon fillets with olive oil, then sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over both sides. Finish with lemon juice for added flavor.
Herb Butter

Make the Herb Butter
In a small bowl, soften the unsalted butter at room temperature. Mix in the chopped parsley, chopped dill, and minced garlic until well combined.
Cooking
- 4
Cook the Salmon
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Add the Herb Butter
In the last minute of cooking, add a dollop of the herb butter on top of each salmon fillet, allowing it to melt and baste the fish.
