Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat the Butter: In a non-stick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
Sear the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving them to allow a golden crust to form.
Flip and Add Garlic: Gently flip the fillets over. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, minced garlic, and lemon juice.
Baste and Finish: Cook for another 3-4 minutes, basting the salmon with the garlic butter until cooked through and flaky.
Serve: Remove from the skillet, garnish with parsley, and serve with fresh lemon wedges.
