Salmon with Garlic Lemon Butter Herb Sauce

Salmon with Garlic Lemon Butter Herb Sauce

Ingredients:

Salmon fillet

Salt

Italian herbs

Clarified butter

4 tsp minced garlic

2 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp butter

2 tbsp parsley

Instructions:

1) After cleaning the salmon, dry it as much as possible.

2) Cut some slits, length-wise, across the salmon skin. This will prevent the salmon from curling up during cooking. Don't slice too deep though, or the salmon may get overcooked.

3) Season both sides of the salmon with salt and Italian herb seasoning. 

4) Ensure that the salmon is near room temperature, then heat up a frying pan over medium heat. When it's hot, add some clarified butter in.

5) Add the salmon to the pan, skin-side down. Use a spatula and press the salmon down gently to ensure that the skin is flat.

6) Let the salmon continue to cook for around 6 to 7 minutes. Scoop some of the butter and oil and drizzle it on top of the salmon just to cook the flesh a bit more.

7) Flip the salmon over to cook the flesh side for a short while, then remove from the pan.

8) Add the garlic and lemon juice into the pan and let it cook for a while. Then add the parsley and normal butter in and mix until the butter melts.

9) Drizzle the sauce over the salmon and serve.
