Instructions
Step 1
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with ½ tsp salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter. Once butter melts and foams, add salmon fillets skin-side down (if using skin-on).
Step 3
Cook salmon for 4-5 minutes without moving until golden brown. Flip carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through but still moist. Remove salmon to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
Step 4
Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 2 tbsp butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Step 5
Add lemon juice to the skillet and stir to combine with the butter and garlic. Cook for 1 minute to reduce slightly.
Step 6
Add spinach to the skillet with remaining ½ tsp salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until spinach is wilted.
Step 7
Return salmon to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top. Cook for 1 minute to reheat.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
