Garlic Salmon

Succulent salmon fillets are marinated in a robust mixture of minced garlic, lemon zest, and olive oil before being pan-seared. The high heat creates a savory garlic crust while keeping the interior of the fish tender and flaky. It is a quick, heart-healthy main course that pairs beautifully with steamed greens or quinoa.
