Follow these straightforward steps to create your Garlic Butter Salmon:

1. Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel, and season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat until bubbly.
3. Sear the Salmon: Place the seasoned salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is crispy.
4. Flip the Fillets: Gently flip the salmon over and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
5. Make the Garlic Butter: Reduce heat to low. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic to the skillet.
6. Add Flavor: Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant but not burnt.
7. Finishing Touches: Add lemon juice and chopped parsley, stirring to combine all the flavors.
8. Baste the Salmon: Use a spoon to baste the salmon with the garlic butter sauce for added flavor.
9. Remove from Heat: Once the salmon is fully cooked and the garlic is aromatic, remove from heat.
10. Plate the Dish: Serve the salmon hot, drizzling extra garlic butter over the top, and garnish with lemon wedges.
