Pan-Fried Salmon

Directions

1. 1
   Melt butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Pour in lemon juice and swirl the skillet to mix melted butter and lemon juice.
2. 2
   Place salmon fillets, flesh side down, in the pan and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Spoon lemon butter over the top of the fillets as they cook. Turn fillets over with a spatula and cook for an additional 1 or 2 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Season with salt and pepper.
