For an extra layer of flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking. If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the salmon before cooking. Feel free to substitute other fresh herbs, such as parsley or dill, for the cilantro. Serve with a crisp green salad or steamed asparagus for a complete and balanced meal. For a richer sauce, stir in a tablespoon of heavy cream or crème fraîche at the end of cooking.
