Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 1 salmon steak
- 1 whole lemon sliced
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 stalks chives finely chopped
Instructions
- Heat a cast iron or a nonstick pan on medium-high.
- Add butter and garlic to the pan. Cook for 1 min or until garlic is browned and fragrant.
- Salt and pepper both sides of the salmon steak.
- Add the salmon steak to the pan. Let it cook for 5 min, allowing the bottom to become golden, then flip.
- Cook another 4 min or until internal temperature reaches 145 deg F. When done, promptly remove the salmon from the hot pan.
- Top with chives and serve with a slice of lemon.
Notes
- A good way to check if the salmon is done cooking is if you gently press the top with the flat side of your spatula — the salmon should be firm but have a little bounce
