Creating the Crispy Skillet Salmon with Lemon Caper Sauce is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the Pan: 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 4-5 minutes without moving them, allowing the skin to get crispy. Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until cooked through.
4. Make the Sauce: Remove the salmon from the skillet and cover to keep warm. In the same skillet, add the butter and garlic, sautéing until fragrant. Add the capers, lemon juice, and lemon zest, stirring to combine.
5. Serve: Pour the lemon caper sauce over the salmon fillets. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Following these steps will lead you to create a dish that is not only delicious but also visually captivating.
