Lemon Butter Salmon with Broccoli
"Costco's Atlantic salmon, seared golden and finished in lemon-garlic butter — the fancy dinner that takes less time than finding parking at the warehouse."
The Game Plan
-
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side up and sear for 4 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip and cook 3 more minutes.
-
Remove salmon from pan. Reduce heat to medium.
-
Add butter and garlic to the same pan. Cook 30 seconds, then add lemon juice and capers if using. Swirl to make the sauce.
-
Meanwhile, steam or roast broccoli. For quick steam: microwave with 2 tablespoons water, covered, for 3 minutes.
-
Plate salmon with broccoli. Spoon the lemon butter sauce over everything. Garnish with herbs.
