4 servings
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
For the sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
Chef's tipUse a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
For serving
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
- lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.
- 2
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place the salmon fillets skin-side up and sear undisturbed for 4 minutes, until the flesh is opaque about halfway up the sides and the underside is deep golden and releases cleanly from the pan.
