Pan Seared Salmon with Lemon Butter

Ingredients required:

• 1 1/4 lb skinless boneless salmon fillets, cut into 2-4 filets (5oz each about 1″ thick)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp black pepper
• 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tsp grated lemon zest
• 4 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice, from 2 lemons
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, minced

Directions:

• Season Salmon on both sides with 1/2 salt and 1/8 black pepper
• Grate lemon zest and then squeeze out 4 tbsp lemon juice
• Heat a large pan and add 4 tbsp butter, swirling and frequently stirring to prevent splatter until it starts to turn light brown 
• Add seasoned salmon and cook uncovered on the first side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip salmon and cook another side for 2 to 3 minutes
• Add 1 tsp lemon zest and 4 tbsp lemon juice to the pan. Spoon the sauce over the salmon as it cooks. Transfer salmon to plates, drizzle with sauce and sprinkle the pan-cooked salmon with freshly chopped parsley and black pepper to taste

Buon Appetito!
