Oh honey, let me tell you about this absolutely divine pan-seared salmon with lemon butter sauce that’ll have your family thinking you secretly enrolled in culinary school! This recipe is my go-to when I want to feel fancy without spending hours in the kitchen (because let’s be real, we’ve got better things to do!).
First things first, grab these ingredients:
– 4 salmon fillets (wild-caught if you’re feeling bougie)
– 4 tablespoons butter (real butter, none of that fake stuff!)
– 2 lemons
– 4 cloves of garlic, minced
– Fresh dill
– Salt and pepper
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– Baby spinach (optional, but let’s pretend we’re being healthy)
Now, here’s where the magic happens, girlfriends!
Pat those salmon fillets dry like you’re blotting your face after a hot yoga class. Season generously with salt and pepper – don’t be shy! Heat that olive oil in a large skillet until it’s hot enough to make a splash of water dance (but please don’t actually try that 😉).
Place your salmon skin-side up and let it sizzle for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Flip it over (carefully, we’re not trying to create a mess here), and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Now for that heavenly sauce – in a separate pan, melt the butter and add minced garlic. Cook until fragrant (about 1 minute), then add the juice of one lemon and some chopped dill. Swirl it around like you’re stirring up drama, but way more delicious!
Plate your salmon on a bed of spinach (if using), and drizzle that gorgeous sauce all over. Garnish with lemon slices and extra dill because we’re fancy like that!
Trust me, this dish is Instagram-worthy, and more importantly, it’s packed with omega-3s and protein. Your skin will thank you later!
