Step 1
Pulse parsley, basil, and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped.
Step 2
Add lemon juice and 3 tbsp olive oil. Pulse until emulsified but still textured.
Step 3
Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Season skin-side and flesh-side with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 5
Lay salmon skin-side down. Do not move for 4 minutes until skin is golden and crispy.
Step 6
Flip fillets and cook flesh-side 2–3 minutes until opaque and barely firm to the touch.
Step 7
Transfer salmon to a plate. Spoon salsa verde over each fillet and serve immediately.
