Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.

Carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through and flakes easily.

Remove the salmon from the skillet and transfer to a plate.

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter, allowing it to melt.

Add minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Stir in lemon juice and cook for an additional minute, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley.

Spoon the lemon butter sauce over the salmon fillets before serving.
