Crispy Salmon with Garlic Lemon Butter Sauce

It has been a while since I’ve shared a salmon dish. I continue to cook salmon for my family at least once a week and this new crispy salmon with garlic lemon butter was one that we really liked. I used a grill pan to cook this dish, which produced a golden-brown crust and a moist and flaky flesh. In this recipe, the seasoned salmon fillets were pan grilled to perfection and then simply served with a garlic lemon butter sauce. The crispy salmon was already good as is, but a drizzle of the sauce made it even better!
