Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into bite-sized cubes

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon lemon zest

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried dill)

Salt and pepper to taste

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon cubes dry with paper towels, and season them lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.

    Make the Lemon Butter Sauce: In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn it.

      Add Zest and Juice: Lower the heat and stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, fresh dill, and red pepper flakes (if using). Allow this sauce to simmer gently for about 2 minutes.

        Cook the Salmon: Increase the heat back to medium and gently add the salmon cubes to the skillet. Sear the salmon for about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown on the outside but still tender on the inside.

          Taste and Adjust: Give the sauce a taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.

            Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a burst of color and flavor.
