Lemon Garlic Salmon

SUBMITTED BY: Christine  PHOTO BY: Allrecipes 

"Fresh salmon needs very little preparation. These salmon fillets are cooked in good, sweet butter and minced garlic, and then sprinkled with a little lemon juice. If you'd like a little more kick and a fancy presentation, caramelize onions and serve them atop the cooked salmon. "
