Stir in the lemon zest then serve the salmon topped with a sprinkling of fresh parsley. I love to serve mine with baby new potatoes and broccoli too.

Notes
Can I make it ahead and/or freeze?No, I don't recommend making this one ahead. The salmon is best when freshly cooked, and the sauce is flavoured in part by the juices from frying the salmon.What size salmon fillets?I use regular salmon fillet portions that are about 2 inches wide and thick (at the the thickest part) and 6-7 inches long. You can replace with the square-ish sizes tail-end fillets if you prefer. The tail end fillets, although wider, are usually thinner. They cook in about the same amount of time (the last bit of cooking in the sauce will help to keep them juicy too).Can I replace with other fish?Yes! This recipe works great with most types of fish fillets
Cook as per this recipe with skin-on trout, sea bass or sea bream
For firm-fleshed, skinless, white fish fillets - such as cod, haddock and pollack, it's a good idea to season them with a pinch of salt and pepper first for extra flavour. These types of white fish are usually thicker, but since they're skinless, they should cook in about the same amount of time as the salmon.
