Step 1
Pat lamb chops dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear chops 90 seconds per side without moving—edges should look opaque, center still pink inside.
Step 4
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, garlic, and rosemary; let the butter foam for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Tilt the pan and baste the chops with the garlic-herb butter for another 30 seconds.
Step 6
Slide chops onto a plate. Squeeze lemon over top, finish with a pinch of fleur de sel, serve immediately.
