Steps for Lemon Salmon
Take the fillet and check for any bones. If you want to remove them before cooking, you just need to use tweezers: feel where they are with your hands, grab the tip of the bone, and pull it out with a decisive motion.
In a high-sided pan, add a drizzle of oil and a clove of garlic (if desired), and sauté for a few minutes.
Place the salmon inside the pan: the skin side should be in contact with the pan. Cover with a lid and cook for 2 minutes.Meanwhile, prepare the lemon mixture: squeeze the lemon and pour the juice into a bowl, add parsley and enough salt, and mix well.
Pour the mixture into the pan, directly over the salmon. Cover and cook for another 10 minutes on low heat.
The lemon salmon is ready to be enjoyed!
