I love salmon and it cooks very quickly which makes it an ideal choice for the busy professional who desires a delicious freshly cooked meal without the wait or hassle after a long day’s work. So bearing this goal for a quick meal mind I searched on Youtube for the perfect salmon recipe and I found this 10 Minute Lemon Butter Salmon recipe and it looked so delicious, I knew I had to make it right away. The very best part of all was I got to use my uncle’s, who was a Fire Fighter for the Houston Fire Dept., cast iron skillet that he used for cooking delicious dinners for the other Firemen for 42 years, that was one well-seasoned skillet! The ingredients are basic and I already had them in the fridge so I was ready to majorly roll on this salmon!
