Add the salmon fillets to the hot skillet, skin-side down if applicable. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving them, until the skin is crispy and the salmon is partially cooked through.
Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Add minced garlic and lemon slices during the last minute of cooking.
3. Finish and Serve:
Add Lemon Juice:
Drizzle the lemon juice over the salmon fillets once they are cooked.
Garnish (Optional):
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve:
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh salad.
Tips for Success:
Fresh Salmon: Use fresh salmon for the best flavor and texture. Frozen salmon is a good alternative if fresh isn’t available.
Don’t Overcook: Salmon cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking. It should be flaky but still moist.
Flavor Variations: Feel free to adjust the herbs or add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
