Description

This elegant yet simple dish features tender salmon fillets cooked slowly in a fragrant garlic butter sauce. The rich, creamy butter infuses the fish with deep savory notes, while the minced garlic adds a warm, aromatic punch. Freshly sliced green onions provide a mild, grassy crunch that balances the richness of the sauce. Finished with a bright squeeze of lemon, this recipe highlights the natural sweetness of the salmon without overpowering it. It is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a light, sophisticated appetizer for parties. The combination of textures and flavors creates a comforting, restaurant-quality meal that comes together in under twenty minutes.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
  3. Place salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet.
  4. Cover and cook over low heat for 3 minutes.
  5. Carefully turn the fish over and sprinkle with thinly sliced green onions.
  6. Cover and continue to cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 2-3 minutes more.
