Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving, until the skin is crisp and the salmon is almost cooked through.
Flip salmon carefully and cook for 1 minute more.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter and garlic and cook for 30–60 seconds.
Add lemon juice and cook 30–60 seconds more. Then add the parsley. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
