Method
Step 1: Prepare the Salmon
- Wash the salmon pieces with clean water and dry them using a paper towel. Sprinkle a little salt and black pepper on both sides so the fish has basic flavor.
Step 2: Make Garlic Butter
- Melt butter in a small pan on low heat. Add minced garlic and fresh lemon juice. Stir for a minute until it smells nice and fresh.
Step 3: Cook the Salmon
- For pan cooking, heat a non-stick pan and place salmon skin side down. Cook for three to four minutes on each side until golden. For oven cooking, preheat oven to 200°C (400°F), place salmon on a tray, brush with garlic butter, and bake for twelve to fifteen minutes.
Step 4: Add Final Flavor
- Brush the remaining garlic butter on the cooked salmon. Sprinkle some fresh parsley or dill to make it more fresh and tasty.
Step 5: Serve Hot
- Serve the salmon on a plate with lemon wedges. Add steamed vegetables or salad on the side for a complete healthy meal.
Notes
- Do not overcook salmon; it will become dry.
- Use olive oil spray instead of butter if you want fewer calories.
- Fresh lemon juice makes the flavor much better than the bottled one.
- The best sides are steamed broccoli, spinach, zucchini, or a light salad.
- Eat this meal for lunch or dinner, not very late at night.
