Lemon Garlic Butter Salmon
- Replies 2
One of my personal favourite foods to cook for an elevated and healthy meal is salmon. It’s versatile, packed with omega-3 fatty acids, and delightful.
Lemon garlic butter salmon, simply put, is just a pan-seared salmon fillet that’s drenched in a lemony butter sauce with spring greens as garnish. It may look fancy, but I promise that anyone can do it flawlessly.
Here are the ingredients you need:
1. Two lemons
2. Two tablespoons of olive oil
3. Four skinless salmon fillets
4. 80 grams of butter, chopped
5. Three garlic cloves, crushed
6. Two tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley leaves
7. A bunch asparagus, trimmed
Kick things off by juicing a lemon. Then, cut the remaining lemon into thick slices. Heat some oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat before dropping the lemon slices in. Cook each side for about 2 minutes or until they are caramelised. Transfer the slices to a plate.
Add the salmon fillets to the pan, top-side down, and cook each side for two minutes or until they reach a golden brown colour. After that, move the fillets to 1 side of the pan.
Add the butter, garlic, and parsley to the pan. Stir the ingredients thoroughly for a minute. Then, add the lemon juice, lemon slices, and asparagus. Let them simmer for 3 to 5 minutes or until the fish fillets are flakey in the middle.
Scoop a generous amount of the butter mixture and pour it over the fish. Top the dish with extra parsley to serve. Easy as pie!
