INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 tsp Butter
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 Garlic Clove
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Combine chopped fresh parsley and thyme, then press this herb mixture onto the top of the salmon fillet.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillet, skin side down if applicable.
Cook the salmon for about 3-4 minutes on one side until a crisp golden crust forms, then carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the fish is cooked through.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the lemon butter sauce in a small saucepan: melt the butter over medium heat, add a minced garlic clove and sauté briefly until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice and let it simmer for about 1 minute.
Once the salmon is done, remove from the pan and plate. Drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the top and serve immediately.
