Pan Grilled Salmon with Tuscan Butter

2 center cut salmon fillets
2 tsp lemon pepper & herbs seasoning
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp kosher salt
Olive Oil Spray - I LOVE Terra Creta brand, find at HEB, Whole Foods.
Tuscan Butter - store bought or make your own.**
1/2 stick butter, softened
1-2 cloves garlic, minced (depending on how much you love garlic)
1 tsp Italian Herbs

Tuscan Butter

In a small bowl, combine the butter, minced garlic and Italian herbs. Stir to combine, cover and place in fridge.


Preheat medium skillet over medium heat. Spray (or brush, if you don't have spray) fillets with olive oil. Sprinkle lemon pepper, garlic powder & kosher salt evenly over fillets. When pan is heated, add salmon, skin side up and cook until deep golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Turn fillets over (now skin side down) and cook 5 more minutes. Reduce heat to medium low and place a generous tbsp of tuscan butter on top of each fillet. Cover skillet with lid and continue cooking until salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 10-12 minutes. Remove fillets using wide spatula and serve with addtional Tuscan butter, if desired.

**Challenge Brand Tuscan butter is great! I use it all the time. Perfect on pasta, steaks, veges...it's all good!
