A delightful salmon recipe with a zesty lime twist, perfect for a quick and flavorful meal.
Season the salmon fillets on the flesh side with thyme, salt, and pepper.
Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Heat the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until melted and slightly bubbly.
Don't let the butter burn; it should be golden and aromatic.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Press the fillets gently with a spatula to ensure even contact with the skillet.
Flip the salmon fillets and sprinkle with chopped green onions and lime zest. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.
The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
Serve the salmon fillets with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over before eating.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
