Garlic Butter Salmon

I find salmon is one of the easiest, quickest and healthiest meal you can make.

I buy a packet of frozen salmon pieces from Coles I think it has 10 in a packet for $29 sometimes on sale for $27. That's less than $3 a meal . I then add either a garden salad or 3 to 4 different steamed vegies.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 40g butter, chopped
  • 1 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh continental parsley leaves, plus extra leaves, to serve
  • 1 small bunch asparagus, trimmed

METHOD

  • Step 1
    Juice 1/2 lemon . Cut the remaining lemon into thick slices. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook lemon slices for 2 minutes each side or until caramelised. Transfer to a plate.

  • Step 2
    Add the salmon, skin-side down, to pan and cook for 2 minutes or until golden. Turn over salmon and move to 1 side of pan.

  • Step 3
    Add the butter, garlic and parsley to the pan. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until aromatic. Add lemon juice, lemon slices and asparagus. Bring to boil. Simmer for 3-5 minutes or until fish flakes when tested with a fork in the thickest part. Spoon the butter mixture over the fish. Top with extra parsley to serve.
Serve with steamed vegetables or garden salad.

Note

Replace butter with a little oil and more lemon juice

Very good contents. Very healthy and will keep insulin spikes low as well as provide some good omega 3's. It could be argued that there is not enough fat in it to be just right, but that can be another discussion. At least this post is very refreshing.
 
I eat salmon grilled with sliced garlic and olive oil spray weekly. I will try this recipe or a change. My 'kitchen ' has some issues with any ( stir included) frying and the smoke alarm ...despite my efforts to redirect any smoke for cooking so many great saute dishes. Sigh.
 
Hi Suzanne.....if you are using 2 pieces for a meal then your meals will cost more than $3 each. Just sayin, no offence. 😏😂
