Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Pan: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
- Sear the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy. Carefully flip the fillets.
- Make the Anchovy Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, add the butter, minced anchovies, and minced garlic. Stir until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Bake the Salmon: Pour the anchovy garlic butter over the salmon fillets, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven, drizzle with lemon juice, and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot with your choice of sides.
