White wine garlic salmon

This White Wine Garlic Salmon recipe features seared salmon fillets cooked skin-side down until crisp, then finished with a sauce of butter, garlic, dry white wine, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. The method produces salmon with a crisp exterior and tender interior, complemented by a fragrant, slightly acidic sauce that enhances the fish's natural flavor. It can be served with additional lemon wedges for extra brightness.
