PAN-SEARED SALMON with Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce » Crispy, Juicy & Easy

This 20-minute crispy pan-seared salmon, drenched in a delicious lemon garlic butter sauce, is a go-to favourite of mine for busy weeknight dinners.
Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and bursting with flavour from the pan sauce. It goes great with a simple side of rice, potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad - here's how to make it!

► While pan heats up, add salt & pepper to both sides of salmon fillet
► Please salmon into pan, skin-side down (if using skin-on salmon)

[@giuliettawebber6772]

Hello from ltaly.You should use olive oil which is more healthy and tasty, also strangley we are taught in ltaly to always use the stalks of the parsley because that is where the flavour is.🤷‍♀️

I don’t usually subscribe to channels, even if I watch many of their videos. But I absolutely love this channel and I had to! Every video I’ve watched has made me fall in love with the art of making food - something I used to dread in the past. Thank you so much for the inspiration you give and the effort you put into these videos. From the camera work to the way it’s presented. You have a true gift! I hope you post more videos soon, God bless!

[@EYEFORADVENTURE]

You have GOT to make more videos! 🙌💕 Beautifully orchestrated! So do we eat the skin? 😄 Looks amazing and can’t wait to try! 🙏

[@toastyapron]

Thank you so much for the support! New videos are in the pipeline and will be coming very soon :) and yes, the skin can definitely be eaten! In general, salmon skin actually contains a lot of nutrients, vitamins and minerals, and omega-3 healthy fats! However, I would just make sure to pay attention to where your salmon comes from, ensuring it comes from a high quality source; some salmon sources (e.g. salmon farmed from the Atlantic Ocean) would generally not be advisable to eat salmon skin from, as they are considered lower quality than others (e.g. wild-caught Pacific). Hope that helps!

[@rachelsolomon128]

Looks so good and yummy. Thank you so much. ❤❤❤❤

[@m-rstringer3750]

Having fallen madly in love with your more recent recipes, and not being much of a fish-eater, I finally got 'round to this video. Wish I'd done it sooner. :\ Only problem is the source of the salmon we have: most comes from Tasmania's fish farms, and they are not frightfully admired, these days. I shall try to get some from another place. Oh, and TA - you should read Malcolm Kendrick's "The Great Cholesterol Con": it'll open your eyes.

[@toastyapron]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and I hope you're able to find some salmon! I personally know a few people who also aren't big fish eaters, but they absolutely love this dish - so I hope you get a chance to try it out! And thanks for the book reco - I'll be sure to check it out! Cheers 😀

[@kirstieb8025]

is it necessary to add salt beforehand? i have high blood pressure

[@toastyapron]

Hi there! It's certainly not necessary to add salt beforehand especially if you have dietary restrictions and require a lower-sodium diet. It'll taste just as great, I promise! :)

[@fidaulfat589]

Can I use cilantro instead of parsley as it's very expensive where I m

[@toastyapron]

Absolutely! Just be mindful that cilantro does have a stronger aroma and flavour than parsley, so if you prefer a milder taste, you may want to use slightly less cilantro; but if you don't mind the stronger taste, go for it! Thanks for watching!

[@rosembb2328]

The base recipe would be 10 WW points if made with almond milk. I only get 23 a day, so I’d have to leave out the maple syrup or switch to sugar free to save 3 or 4 WW points.

[@kirstieb8025]

where does it say anything about maple syrup?

[@user-qw9yg1sw2w]

I tried this recipe today. It was too sour and salty!!!🤢 To be frankly, you don't have to put a thin layer of salt and black pepper on both sides of the salmon if there is salt and black pepper in sauce.

[@tubbylemon]

ever think you’re just overseasoning everything

[@amithpandit4043]

You might have used Limes instead of Lemon. I made this recipe today and did that mistake. Though I used just half a lime; the sauce came out very sour. Had to tone it down using maple syrup.
