INGREDIENTS:

• 3 Tablespoons butter
• 6 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1/3 cup chicken broth
• 1/3 cup lemon juice
• salt, to taste
• 6 (6 ounce) salmon fillets
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 3 Tablespoons fresh parsley (minced)
• 3 lemons (sliced thin)

DIRECTIONS:

Lemon garlic sauce:
1. Melt butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
2. Add chicken broth, lemon juice, and salt to taste. Simmer this mixture until reduced by 1/3 to 1/2. The sauce should be thick and bubbly.
3. Remove from heat and set aside.
Salmon:
4. Remove the salmon from the fridge 10-20 minutes before cooking. Pat dry.
5. Season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper, if desired.
6. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
7. Place salmon fillets skin side up and cook about 2-3 minutes or until light brown and crispy. Using a spatula, carefully flip them over.
8. Cook 3-4 minutes on second side, or until skin is crisp and flesh begins to feel firm to the touch. Remove at this point for a salmon cooked around medium.
9. Continue to cook until flesh easily flakes with a fork for a well-done salmon.
10. Remove pan from heat and pour lemon garlic sauce over.
11. Sprinkle with parsley and arrange lemon slices over top.
12. Serve with skin on or easily remove with a spoon, and serve with more lemon garlic sauce and lemon slices from the pan.
