Pan Seared Salmon Fillet with lemon juice

First timer trying it, surprisingly it's a good, whole chunk of fillet, you can't get in anywhere unless it's a home cooked food. Fragrant with garlic spread to cover the fishy odor. Recommended for those who busy in daily working life. Simple yet it's health. Yummy~ Happy weekend.
