Follow these simple steps to create the Crispy Skillet Salmon Secret with Lemon Caper Sauce:

1. Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Cook the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes without moving them, allowing the skin to get crispy.
4. Flip the Salmon: Carefully flip the fillets using a spatula. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
5. Remove the Salmon: Transfer the cooked salmon to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
6. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and let it melt. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
7. Add Lemon and Capers: Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and capers. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
8. Return the Salmon: Place the salmon back in the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top to coat.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
10. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your crispy skillet salmon while it’s hot!
