Steps

Preheat your skillet over medium-high heat.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, chopped parsley, and dill.
Add olive oil to the skillet and place the salmon skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat and stir in lemon juice.
Once the salmon is cooked, drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the top and garnish with a lemon slice.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful meal!
