Start by patting the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a nice sear. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon fillets in the skillet.
Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. You want a golden crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and flaky.
Once the salmon is nearly cooked through, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Allow the butter to melt and the garlic to become fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the salmon and spoon the garlic butter sauce over the top. Cook for an additional minute to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the salmon for a fresh touch. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Keto Salmon!
