Ingredients:
- 2 salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Place the salmon fillets in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and nicely browned. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
6. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits.
