Ingredients

For the Salmon:

• 4 skinless, boneless salmon fillets (approximately 6 oz each)

• 2 tablespoons plain flour (or gluten-free flour blend)

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

For the Sauce:

• 4 cloves garlic, finely minced

• ½ cup vegetable stock

• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

• Juice of ½ lemon (for serving)

Directions

1. Prepare the Dredging Mix: In a shallow dish, combine plain flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

2. Dredge the Salmon: Coat each salmon fillet with the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

3. Pan-Fry the Salmon: Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fillets and cook for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside.

4. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

5. Deglaze and Simmer: Pour in the vegetable stock, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Let the sauce simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.

6. Finish the Dish: Return the salmon fillets to the pan, spooning the sauce over them. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.

7. Serve: Transfer the salmon to serving plates, drizzle with the garlic butter sauce, and garnish with chopped parsley. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top just before serving.
