Here is how you will make this 6-Ingredient Easy Salmon Scampi:
First, heat a pan with some ghee and olive oil over medium heat. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Add the salmon to the pan. Sear for 2 minutes on each side. Remove the salmon from the pan and place it on a plate.
Then, add the minced garlic to the same pan and saute for 1 minute. Add the broth, a few dashes of salt and pepper, and the red pepper flakes. Allow the liquid to reduce down to half, then stir in the lemon juice and cilantro/parsley mixed (or just parsley).
Finally, allow it to cook down for another minute, then add the salmon back and allow it to cook in the liquid for a minute. Pour some of the sauce over the pasta of choice (optional) and top with parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
