Ingredients

What you'll need

  • 1 lb pan-seared salmon
  • a pinch lemon
  • 4 oz unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup garlic
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves kosher salt

Method

Step by step

  1. Pat the pan-seared salmon dry and season it well so it browns instead of steaming.
  2. Get your pan hot and render the aromatics until they smell sweet and toasty.
  3. Return the pan-seared salmon, add just enough liquid, and simmer until everything is tender.
  4. Taste, brighten with a squeeze of citrus, and plate while it is still hot.
