Fresh salmon needs very little preparation. These salmon fillets are cooked in good, sweet butter with minced garlic, then sprinkled with a little lemon juice. If you'd like a little more kick and a fancy presentation, caramelize onions and serve them atop the cooked salmon.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
- 2 (4 ounce) fillets salmon
- 1 lemon
Instruction
- Season salmon fillets on both sides with lemon pepper.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat; stir in garlic. Place salmon in the skillet; cook for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, or until fish flakes when tested with a fork, flipping salmon halfway through to brown on both sides. Sprinkle with lemon juice before serving.
