Creating Salmon with Garlic Lemon Butter Sauce is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat until melted and bubbly.
3. Cook the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the pan, skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving them until the skin is crispy.
4. Flip the Salmon: Carefully flip the fillets using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
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, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
7. Add Lemon: Stir in the lemon juice and zest. Cook for an additional minute, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
8. Return Salmon to the Pan: Place the salmon back in the skillet and spoon the sauce over the fillets to coat.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley.
10. Serve Immediately: Plate the salmon with extra lemon wedges on the side for added flavor.
