Sheet-Pan Seared Salmon with brown butter

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: olive oil, lemon, garlic and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the scallions and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the seared salmon and let it sheet-pan, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Stir in the lemon along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Pour in the vegetable stock, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with cracked black pepper right before serving.
7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
