Ingredients

1 tablespoon neutral oil (like avocado oil)

4 (6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets

Kosher salt, to taste

1 lemon

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed

1 large clove garlic, finely minced

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or dill

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large stainless steel skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels; season both sides generously with salt.
Place the salmon in the skillet, skin-side down, and cook undisturbed for 4 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden brown.
Flip the salmon fillets. Finely grate the zest of the lemon over the salmon. Scatter the cubed butter around the salmon in the pan. Swirl the pan gently to help the butter melt and distribute the lemon zest. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Cut the zested lemon in half. Add the minced garlic and the juice from one half of the lemon to the pan around the salmon. Continue to cook, undisturbed, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the garlic is fragrant and slightly softened, about 1 minute more.
Transfer the salmon to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or dill. Serve immediately.
