Step 1
Pat pork belly slices dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high until very hot, about 90 seconds. Lay pork belly skin-side down.
Step 3
Sear 6–8 minutes without moving. Skin should crackle and turn golden brown. Flip and cook 3–4 minutes more.
Step 4
Transfer pork to a plate. Pour off all but 1 tbsp fat. Add butter and garlic, stirring until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 5
Add parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice. Stir to combine, then pour over the pork.
Step 6
Serve hot with the pan sauce drizzled on top.
