Quick and Easy Lemon Parsley Salmon
Salmon filets sautéed in lemon juice, white wine, onion and garlic.
Ingredients
- 2 appx. 6 oz. Salmon filets
- 1/2 stick butter
- 1/2 medium onion cut into about 1/4" strips
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed optional
- 6 cloves garlic chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley or 1/4 cup dried
- 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth or water
Instructions
- If your salmon filets need to be thawed out just give them a few minutes in a bowl of water or in the microwave, on the defrost setting of course. Cut the onions into strips. Chop up the parsley and the garlic. Cut the lemon in half and get out the butter.
- Put a skillet on at medium high and add the butter. When the bubbling starts to slow down add the onion strips. Then salt, pepper and dill weed. Or just salt and pepper works fine.
- When the onions have started to wilt and get translucent lay the salmon filets on top with the skin side up. If your filets have been skinned have the side with the gray stripe as the up side. Squeeze in the lemon juice and toss in the rinds. Add the parsley and garlic.
- When the salmon starts to weep out white tears - about 2-3 minutes - turn them over and and add the white wine. Have a sip or two yourself, you deserve it. Stir the liquids, the garlic, onions and the parsley a couple of times as the salmon finishes cooking. To test the salmon to see if it is done gently poke it with a table fork and gently twist it a little. If it wants to flake apart it is ready.. Serve up your Lemon Parsley Salmon and top the filets with the mixture from the pan. Bon Appetit!
