Salmon with Garlic Lemon Butter Sauce - Page 5 of 5

Let salmon rest briefly before cooking so it cooks more evenly.
Preheat the pan and oil, this will help salmon brown better. Don’t add to a cold skillet.
Dab salmon dry before adding to pan, this will give you better browning.
Don’t move salmon as it cooks. Again, better browning.
Don’t over-cook it! Salmon should still look slightly pink in the center.
Serve it with a sauce. Pan seared salmon is great on its own, but a lemon butter sauce like this just takes it to a whole new level of delicious.
