Remove salmon fillets from refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
In a small saucepan, melt 1 teaspoon of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until lightly golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and fresh lemon juice. Allow the sauce to simmer and reduce by half, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons of diced butter and honey. Whisk until smooth and combined.
Pat both sides of the salmon fillets dry. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a heavy 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the salmon fillets in the hot oil and cook for about 4 minutes without moving them.
Carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until fully cooked through.
Transfer the salmon to plates. Drizzle the warm garlic lemon butter sauce over each fillet, sprinkle with parsley, and garnish with lemon slices if desired. Serve immediately.
