• 4 salmon fillets
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions:

Add salt and pepper to the salmon fillets

In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat

Over medium heat, melt the butter in the same pan

It will take about 34 minutes of cooking the butter until it turns golden brown

To the browned butter, add the minced garlic and cook for one minute
