This Salmon with Garlic Lemon Butter Sauce Is Dinner Goals

Garlic, lemon, and butter are an ingredient trifecta. Basically you can put them on anything and that thing will taste 100 percent better. Chicken with the combo? Oh hell yes. A bunch of roasted veggies tossed in that sauce? Gimme, gimme. That’s why this quick and easy salmon recipe from Cooking Classy immediately caught my eye when I was scrolling through Pinterest. It’s definitely another #dinnergoals recipe.
So, here’s what you need to do: When shopping for the salmon, ask for multiple six-ounce skinless fillets cut about 1-inch thick at your fish counter. Allow the salmon to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes, while you make your garlic, lemon, and butter sauce in a small saucepan. Start by sautéing garlic until golden in butter. Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice and simmer until reduced. Stir in more butter (and a little honey) until combined. Set the sauce aside to make the salmon in a skillet.
Sear the salmon on both sides. Transfer each fillet to a plate and then drizzle each serving with that magical garlic lemon butter sauce and prepare to get a lot of compliments (and requests that you make this dinner again). I would serve this with a bunch of seasonal vegetables, or maybe some rice.
