Ingredients
Ingredients
- 340 g Salmon fillets 2 fillets, about 170 g each
- 30 ml Olive oil 1–2 tablespoons
- 6 g Garlic 2 cloves, minced
- 45 g Butter 3 tablespoons
- 1 unit Lemon juice and zest
- 5 g Salt
- 5 g Black pepper
- 5 g Fresh parsley chopped
- 1 g Paprika optional, for color
Instructions
- Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil to coat the bottom.
- Pat the salmon dry, season with salt and pepper, and place it skin-side down.
- Sear for about 3–4 minutes until the skin is crisp and the flesh releases easily from the pan.
- Flip carefully and cook for another 2–4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 52°C for medium.
- In the last minute, add the butter and minced garlic, swirling the pan to create a garlicky butter sauce.
- Spoon the sauce over the fillets and finish with lemon juice and zest. Remove from heat, rest briefly, and garnish with parsley before serving.
Notes
Tip: Pat the fillets dry before cooking to ensure a crisper surface, and avoid overcrowding the pan to achieve a crispy skin.
