In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat; stir in the garlic. Place the salmon in the skillet; cook for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, or until the fish flakes when tested with a fork, flipping the salmon halfway through to brown both sides. Sprinkle with lemon juice before serving.
