Ingredients
- 10 oz (300 grams) salmon
- salt
- ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- 4 cloves garlic peeled
- 4 sprigs of thyme
- 3 dashes cayenne pepper
- lemon juice
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the salmon under water and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a skillet (cast iron preferred) over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt before adding the salmon, skin side down. Add the garlic and thyme.
- Pan-sear the salmon, uninterrupted, for about 1 minute. Flip the salmon and sear the other side for another minute, turning the garlic as well to prevent burning. Spoon the melted butter over the salmon while it cooks.
- Flip the salmon back to skin side down and sprinkle cayenne pepper on top. Add a squirt of fresh lemon juice and a pinch of salt to taste. Turn off the heat and serve immediately.
