Pan Seared Lemon Butter Salmon

Sharing is caring!

Pan-Seared Salmon Recipe is one of the easiest recipes on my blog. It’s fresh and tasty but most importantly it is so simple to make. Your family will love this delicious lemon butter salmon.

This salmon goes great with some Creamy Mashed Potatoes, Creamed Corn, and Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes.

This pan seared salmon is fried until crispy on the outside and tender and flaky on the inside. Takes about 2 minutes to prep and 10 mins to cook. No lie. Lemon, butter, and garlic is a wonderful complement to salmon. It goes so well.

You will taste the lemon, butter, and garlic in every bite. Just a couple of ingredients and you are good to go. A lot of you requested more salmon recipes without wine, so here you go.

If you enjoyed my creamy lemon salmon recipe and creamy garlic salmon and shrimp recipe then you certainly will love this one!

Asparagus is a wonderful addition to this recipe. Enjoy with steamed veggies or a side salad.
