Pan Seared Salmon Fillets with Lemon and Butter
Cook the salmon fillets in a hot skillet with lemon juice and butter
Ingredients
- 2 fillets Salmon
- 2 tbsp. Olive oil
- 2 tbsp. butter
- 1 fresh lemon
- 1 tsp. salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1 splash white wine optional
- 1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley - or basil half as much if you are using dried
Instructions
- Put the skillet on the stove and set the burner at medium high. Add the butter and just enough olive oil to barely coat the bottom of the pan. Squeeze the juice from 1/2 lemon into the skillet. When the butter stops bubbling lay the salmon fillets in the skillet.
- About 3-4 minutes a side. When they are just starting to firm up and want to flake when you gently stab them with a fork and gently twist it. Serve them up with a wedge and/or slices of lemon and garnished with a little chopped parsley - or basil. Spoon some of the liquids from the skillet on top and serve them up.
