Follow these easy steps to create your Garlic Lemon Butter Sauce Salmon:

1. Prepare the Salmon: Begin by patting the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Salmon: Once the skillet is hot, add the salmon fillets, skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving them to achieve a crispy skin.
4. Flip the Salmon: Carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until cooked through and opaque in the center. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
5. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Allow it to melt, stirring it occasionally.
6. Add Garlic: Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, ensuring not to burn the garlic.
7. Add Lemon Juice and Zest: Pour in the lemon juice and lemon zest, stirring to combine all the ingredients well.
8. Return Salmon to the Skillet: Return the cooked salmon fillets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over each piece.
9. Heat Through: Let the salmon heat through in the sauce for about 1-2 minutes.
10. Serve: Remove from the heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
