4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves of garlic (minced)

1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions
Start by placing your skillet over medium heat. Let it warm for a minute or two.
While the skillet is heating, season your salmon fillets generously with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the preheated skillet. Once melted, gently place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable, and sear for about 4-5 minutes.
Carefully flip the salmon fillets using a spatula. Add the minced garlic around the fish and pour in the remaining butter.
Using a spoon, baste the salmon fillets with the garlic butter mixture for about 3-4 minutes more or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat and stir in fresh lemon juice and parsley.
