Skillet Seared Salmon with Garlic Lemon Butter Sauce

I was wondering what I was going to cook for dinner and was going through my options in the freezer and landed on some salmon.  But I didn't want to bake it or broil it (broiling is hard with my three kiddos running around).  So I googled pan fried salmon recipes and found this enticing recipe for skillet seared salmon with garlic lemon butter sauce.  I had most of the ingredients and could easily substitute for the other one or two.  I don't usually eat butter since dairy and I don't get along but since it was cooked, I knew I'd be okay.  Unfortunately there are no pictures to document the delicious results but delicious it most certainly was. 

I used what salmon I had and seasoned it with pepper and garlic powder.  I used only 2 tbsp + 1 tsp butter and that was certainly sufficient.  I substituted water for chicken broth and didn't bother using the honey or salt at all (the butter was salted though-does that count?).  I pretty much followed the recipe exactly until the end.  After the salmon was pretty well cooked I put most of the butter sauce into the pan with the salmon and let that simmer a for a few minutes.  When serving I poured the rest of the butter sauce on the fish.  Yum!  It was a yummy treat and took hardly any extra time.
