Instructions

:
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
Once the skillet is hot, add the salmon fillets, skin side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, until the skin is crispy.
Flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the minced garlic and lemon slices to the skillet. Let the garlic cook until fragrant.
Remove the salmon from the skillet and plate. Spoon the garlic and lemon over the top of the fillets.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

:
Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the salmon to ensure a crispy skin.
Adjust the cooking time depending on the thickness of your salmon fillets.
For extra flavor, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the salmon before serving.
