Ingredients

4 (4 ounce) center-cut salmon fillets, with skin
salt and ground black pepper to taste
0.25 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) for keeping the salmon warm.
Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Lightly coat each piece in flour, ensuring to remove any excess.
In a skillet, heat butter and oil over medium-high heat. Place salmon, flesh-side down, and brown for 3 minutes. Flip gently and cook for another 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and keep warm in the oven. Wipe the skillet clean.
Reheat the skillet over medium-high heat. Melt butter for the sauce, then whisk in lemon juice and zest. Cook until slightly reduced, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in parsley, and drizzle over the salmon before serving.
