Ingredients

• 2 pieces Salmon fillets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 whole Lemon
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Start by patting the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 3

Zest the lemon and set aside the zest, then cut the lemon in half.

Step 4

Heat olive oil and butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.

Step 5

Place the salmon fillets skin-side up in the skillet. Cook without moving them for 4-5 minutes or until a golden crust forms.

Step 6

Carefully flip the salmon fillets using a spatula. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the fillets and continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Sprinkle the lemon zest and freshly chopped parsley over the top for added flavor.

Step 8

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
