A delicious skillet seared salmon dish served with a garlic lemon butter sauce, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal. The salmon is seasoned, pan-seared, and topped with a rich, buttery sauce made with garlic, chicken broth, and fresh lemon juice.
1: Remove salmon fillets from the refrigerator and allow to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
2: In a small saucepan, melt 1 tsp butter over medium heat.
3: Add minced garlic to the pan and sauté until lightly golden brown, about 1 - 2 minutes.
4: Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice, and let the sauce simmer until it has reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
5: Stir in remaining butter and honey and whisk until combined. Set the sauce aside.
6: Dab both sides of the salmon dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper.
7: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
8: Once the oil is shimmering, add the seasoned salmon and cook for about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
9: Plate the salmon (leaving oil in the pan) and drizzle each serving generously with the butter sauce.
10: Sprinkle with parsley and garnish with lemon slices if desired. Serve immediately.
