Best garlic butter salmon recipe in 30 mins
Salmon is a healthy and delicious fish, but sometimes you want to take it up a notch. This recipe is your answer! We're going to give that salmon some serious flavor with a browned butter sauce that's nutty and amazing. Plus, a sweet and tangy honey garlic glaze ties everything together. Don't worry, it's all super easy and ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2/4 salmon fillets skin-on or skinless, your preference
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Take your salmon out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Season it with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon, pretty side down, and cook for 3 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip the salmon and cook for 1 minute. Then, add butter to the pan.
- Garlic Butter: Once the butter melts and bubbles, add the garlic. Tilt the pan and use a spoon to scoop the hot butter over the salmon for 1 ½ minutes.
- Take the salmon out and check the temperature (around 50°C/122°F for medium-rare). Let it rest on a plate for 3 minutes (temperature will rise to 53°C/127°F).
- Add lemon juice to the leftover butter in the pan.
- Serve the salmon with some lemon butter on top (go light!), and enjoy with your favorite sides!
