Best Garlic Lovin Salmon Recipes

GARLIC BUTTER SALMON RECIPE

Steps:

• Season salmon: Take salmon out of fridge 30 minutes prior to cooking. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
• Sear salmon 3 mins: Heat oil in large non stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon, presentation side (ie. curved side) down, and cook for 3 minutes until golden.
• Turn, cook 1 min, then add butter: Turn salmon and cook the other side for 1 minute. THEN put the butter in.
• Baste 1 1/2 minutes: Once butter is melted and foaming, add garlic and immediately start spooning the bubbling butter continuously over the salmon for 1 1/2 minutes. To do this, tilt the pan slightly so the butter pools on one side. Use a large spoon to scoop the butter up and spoon it over the salmon.
• Remove salmon from stove: Check Internal temperature of salmon. It should be 50°C/122°F for medium-rare (optimum juiciness pull temp). Remove salmon to a plate. Rest for 3 minutes - it will rise to 53°C/127°F. (See Note 2 for internal temperatures)
• Add lemon juice to butter: Put pan back on unlit stove to keep butter hot. Add lemon juice.
• Serve: Place salmon on serving plates. Spoon over butter (be judicious, it's rich!), garnish with a sprinkle of parsley. Pictured in the post with Cauliflower Mash and leafy greens with French Vinaigrette.

• Season the fillets with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cut garlic in thin slices and place on top of fillets.
• Drizzle honey on top of the fish.
• Place 2 sprigs rosemary on each fillet, you may choose to break them in half or at various intervals to release more flavor.
• drizzle with olive oil and a dash more salt.
• Fold up the tin foil sheets to completely seal in the fish, leaving no holes or gapes.
• Cook in a 180°C/375°F degree preheated oven on a baking sheet.
• Check for doneness after 10 minutes by gently folding open the foil (be careful, steam will escape!) and looking for "flakiness" with a fork and no translucent color. May require additional time.
• If using frozen fish, begin checking for doneness after 15-20 minutes.
• Serve hot, warm or cold.
