Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

28 ounces (800 g) skinless salmon filets
Salt and pepper (, to season)
3 tablespoons lemon juice (, divided)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
8 cloves garlic (, finely chopped or minced)
4 tablespoons fresh chopped Italian parsley leaves (, divided)
Lemon slices of half a lemon

Steps:

  • Pat dry room temperature salmon filets with paper towel. Season all over with salt, pepper. Squeeze 1-2 teaspoons of lemon juice over each filet, and rub all the flavour in.
  • Heat the olive in a large non-stick pan or skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Place salmon filets flesh side down, pressing them lightly so the entire surface of the flesh comes into contact with the pan. Sear, undisturbed, for 3-4 minutes until crispy and golden.
  • Flip and sear the other side of each filet for TWO minutes. Add in the butter, chopped garlic, 3 tablespoons of parsley, remaining lemon juice and lemon slices. Stir the butter and garlic around each filet.
  • Continue to cook the salmon for a further 1-2 minutes, or until salmon reaches desired doneness. (The butter will begin to brown slightly.) Taste test and season with salt and pepper to your tastes, and add more lemon juice if desired.
  • Garnish with the remaining parsley and drizzle the butter over each filet. Serve immediately.

ROASTED SALMON WITH LEMON-GARLIC HERB BUTTER



Roasted Salmon With Lemon-Garlic Herb Butter image

As I watched Food Network's Ina Garten make Salmon Nicoise, I was inspired to use the technique of smoothing a thick marinade over salmon filets before roasting. Her marinade is olive oil-based, whereas mine is butter-based and resembles herb butter. My husband was returning from a business trip, so I wanted to surprise him with an elegant dinner. I served this dish alongside lemon-roasted asparagus and roasted garlic smashed potatoes. Needless to say, he was very pleased. Hope you enjoy as well!
