Step 1

First, prep salmon by patting it dry with a paper towel to remove moisture. Then, season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Step 2

Place 3-4 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon minced garlic into a large nonstick skillet and heat over medium/high heat.

Step 3

Place salmon skin-side up in the pan and sear for 4 minutes. Flip salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until barely pink in the middle.

Step 4

Once flakey and cooked to an internal temperature of at least 145ºF, remove the salmon fillets from the heat.

Step 5

Squeeze fresh lemon juice on top of salmon and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with a sprinkle of fresh dill.
