- 6 oz sockeye salmon filet or your fish of choice
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 Tbsp Salted Butter
- 3 Tbsp Fresh Parsley

- 1/2 Cup Sour Cream
- 1/2 lemon seeded & squeezed or 4 tbsp bottled lemon juice
Rinse Salmon in cool water and pat dry.
6 oz sockeye salmon filet
Mix together all the dry seasonings and sprinkle liberally over both sides of the the salmon filets.
1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/4 tsp pepper
Heat oil and butter over medium-high heat in your skillet until the butter is melted. Carefully place salmon skin side down into the hot skillet and let cook for 4 minutes.
2 Tbsp Olive Oil, 2 Tbsp Salted Butter
Flip each filet and let them cook for 3-4 more minutes. To test for doneness, take a fork and carefully fork one corner of a filet. If the fish "flakes", it is done. Continue cooking in batches until it is all done.
Spoon out any remaining juices from the pan and drizzle over the salmon.
Quick Lemon Cream
Mix together the sour cream and lemon juice in a bowl. Place a dollop on top of each salmon filet.
1/2 Cup Sour Cream, 1/2 lemon seeded & squeezed
Chop the parsley and sprinkle on top. Enjoy!
3 Tbsp Fresh Parsley
- You can substitute the salmon for any fish of choice.
