Salmon with Garlic, Lemon, Butter and Italian Herb Sauce - Easy, healthy, simple and delicious with great flavor!

Ingredients

• Salmon (or Trout) fillets  ·  1 1/2 pound 
• garlic cloves diced  ·  4 
• Herbies Italian Seasoning  ·  3 tablespoons 
• Williamson Extra Virgin Olive Oil  ·  3 tablespoons 
• lemon juice freshly squeezed  ·  3 tablespoons 
• white wine  ·  2 tablespoons 
• butter, softened  ·  2 tablespoons 
• Salt  ·  1 teaspoon 

Instructions

1. Season the top of fish fillets with Italian herb seasoning and salt (generously). Fish fillets will have skins on the bottom - no need to season the skins.
2. In a pan large enough to fit the two fish fillets, heat the olive oil on medium heat until heated but not smoking.
3. Add fish fillets skin side up - flesh side down and cook the flesh side of the fish for about 3 minutes on medium heat, making sure the oil does not smoke, until lightly browned.
4. Flip the fillets over to the other side, skin side down (add more oil, if needed). Cook for another 2minutes on medium heat (to prevent oil from burning).
5. Remove the skillet from heat, close with the lid, and let the fish sit for 5 minutes, covered, in the skillet, until flaky and cooked through completely.
6. After the fish is cooked through (off heat) using spatula, carefully remove fillets to the plate, separating the fish from the skin. Carefully remove or scrape the fish skin off the bottom of the pan, making sure to leave all the cooking oils in the pan.
7. Add diced garlic, lemon juice, and white wine to the same pan with oil. Cook on medium-low heat for about 1 minute, until garlic softens and then remove from heat.
8. Add 2 tablespoons of butter, off heat, to the sauce, stirring, until the butter melts and forms a creamy mixture.
9. Add fish to the pan, spoon sauce over the fish, top the fish and sauce and serve.
