Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Ensure your salmon fillet is clean and dry. Pat it down with a paper towel if necessary.
- Sprinkle the salmon fillet evenly with the 1/2 dash of salt. Make sure to cover both sides.
- Next, generously sprinkle the 1 tsp of garlic powder over the top of the fillet.
3. Prepare the Lemon:
- Cut the lemon in half. From one half, squeeze the lemon juice onto the salmon fillet, ensuring it gets well coated. Slice the other half into thin rounds for garnish and extra flavor.
- Stovetop Method:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillet in the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Oven Method:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the seasoned salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake it for approximately 6-8 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Once the salmon is cooked, transfer it to a serving plate. Garnish with the lemon rounds for an added citrus touch and visual appeal.
- Serve your Garlic-Lemon 6-Minute Salmon with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Make sure your salmon fillets are of even thickness to ensure they cook evenly.
- Pat the salmon dry with paper towels before seasoning to help the spices adhere better.
- Use fresh lemon juice for extra zesty flavor.
- Pre-heat your pan to medium-high to ensure a nice sear on the salmon.
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or freshly ground black pepper.
