Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Salmon fillet, skin removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 Lemon, juiced

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon cubes very dry with paper towels. This step is key for crispiness.
  2. Season the salmon cubes evenly with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Add the salmon cubes to the hot skillet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary.
  5. Cook the salmon for 2-3 minutes per side without moving them, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet.
  7. Cook, swirling the pan constantly, for about 1 minute until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  8. Remove the skillet from the heat. Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the salmon bites.
  9. Toss gently to coat everything in the garlic butter sauce.
  10. Stir in the fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, ensure your salmon is completely dry before cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic based on your preference for bold flavor.
  • If you prefer a tangier sauce, add a small pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic.
