Cast Iron Butter Garlic Salmon

This recipe is all about the simplicity of the ingredients and the sweetness of the salmon. Cast iron is always a great choice for searing fish to get a crisp skin and a juicy, flaky texture.

Ingredients

• 1 pound salmon fillet
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Pat dry the salmon fillet with paper towels.

2. Heat up your cast iron skillet on medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt.

3. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Place the salmon fillet skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes without touching the salmon so that the skin can crisp up.

5. Flip the salmon fillet over and cook for another 2-3 minutes until it's cooked through to your liking.

6. Turn off the heat and let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes in the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Serve the salmon fillet with your favorite sides and enjoy!

The butter and garlic in this recipe add a rich flavor that complements the salmon without overpowering it. The cast iron skillet helps to achieve a nice crust on the skin and seals in the flavors.
