Recreate the famous Texas Roadhouse salmon at home with this easy, 30-minute recipe featuring a crispy herb crust and rich garlic butter topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 center-cut salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (olive or avocado oil)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, melt the butter and stir in minced garlic, chopped parsley, oregano, and lemon juice.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with neutral oil until it shimmers.
  4. Place salmon fillets in the pan skin-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes without moving until a crust forms.
  5. Flip the salmon fillets carefully.
  6. Immediately spoon the garlic butter mixture over the top of each fillet and reduce heat to medium-low.
  7. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, basting frequently with pan juices, until internal temperature reaches 135°F to 140°F.
  8. Transfer to plates and spoon remaining garlic butter over the top. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

Ensure salmon is patted very dry before cooking to achieve a good sear. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary. Salmon continues to cook after removal from heat, so remove at 135°F-140°F. If using frozen salmon, thaw completely and dry thoroughly.
