Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 28 ounces (800 g) skinless salmon filets
  • Salt and pepper (, to season)
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice (, divided)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 cloves garlic (, finely chopped or minced)
  • 4 tablespoons fresh chopped Italian parsley leaves (, divided)
  • Lemon slices of half a lemon

Instruction

  • Pat dry room temperature salmon filets with paper towel. Season all over with salt, pepper. Squeeze 1-2 teaspoons of lemon juice over each filet, and rub all the flavour in.
  • Heat the olive in a large non-stick pan or skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Place salmon filets flesh side down, pressing them lightly so the entire surface of the flesh comes into contact with the pan. Sear, undisturbed, for 3-4 minutes until crispy and golden.
  • Flip and sear the other side of each filet for TWO minutes. Add in the butter, chopped garlic, 3 tablespoons of parsley, remaining lemon juice and lemon slices.  Stir the butter and garlic around each filet.
  • Continue to cook the salmon for a further 1-2 minutes, or until salmon reaches desired doneness. (The butter will begin to brown slightly.) Taste test and season with salt and pepper to your tastes, and add more lemon juice if desired.
  • Garnish with the remaining parsley and drizzle the butter over each filet. Serve immediately.
