1
Preheat the oven to 450 Fahrenheit and place a 12-inch cast iron skillet in the oven to heat up.
2
Pat both sides of the salmon dry using a paper towel. This step ensures the skin gets crispy.
3
Season the salmon skin with kosher salt.
4
Carefully, remove the hot pan from the oven and add ghee, allowing it to melt in the pan.
5
Add salmon, skin side down, to the heated pan. Listen for a sizzling sear upon placement.
6
Season the top of the salmon with kosher salt and black pepper.
7
Place the salmon-filled skillet in the oven and cook for 15 minutes or until salmon is opaque and flaky.
8
In a small bowl, mix together the melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
9
Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the salmon and twisting it gently.
10
Remove the salmon from the oven, drizzle the lemon-garlic butter over the top, and serve immediately.
