My family calls this ‘Salmon Bliss’ because every bite melts in your mouth – I swear I’ve made this three times this week alone!

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy.

Flip the salmon fillets and add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet.

Spoon the melted butter and garlic over the salmon as it cooks for another 2-3 minutes.

Sprinkle the fresh herbs over the salmon and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Serve the salmon with lemon wedges on the side.

For a different flavor profile, try adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the garlic butter for a citrusy kick. If you prefer a bit of heat, a pinch of red pepper flakes can be added to the butter as it melts. For those who enjoy a smoky taste, consider grilling the salmon instead of pan-searing it. You can also experiment with other herbs like basil or tarragon, depending on what’s in season or available in your garden.
