Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons fruit preserves (like apricot, mango-jalapeno, blackberry, etc.)
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon minced herbs (like parsley, cilantro, basil, chives)
1 piece skinless salmon fillet (about 5-6 inches long)
salt and pepper
Vegetable oil (for cooking)

Steps:

Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Roll the salmon. Use kitchen twine to tie the salmon in 4 places, evenly spaced. Make sure you tie it tight! Cut between the twine to make 4 evenly sized pieces, about 1 1/4" thick.
Heat a large frying pan with some vegetable oil over high heat. When hot, add the salmon steaks. Cook for 2 minutes. Turn the salmon over. Cook an additional 1 minute. Turn heat to medium-low, then cover pan loosely with tin foil. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through. Remove salmon to clean plate.
To the same pan on medium-low heat, add the Magical Butter ingredients. Cook until bubbly and butter is melted, about 30 seconds. Pour on top of the salmon.

BUTTER MAGIC SAUCE

Butter Magic Sauce image

Friends and family ask me for this recipe all the time and my husband has affectionately named it "Butter Magic." It's quick, simple, and what the old folks used to call LARRUPIN' GOOD (as in "so tasty it makes your tongue slap your brains out!") I originally created this sauce to brush on corn on the cob, but we quickly discovered it's great on any kind of veggies, potatoes, fish, shrimp, lobster, scallops, chicken, bread and popcorn. Let me know what foods you liked it on!

Time 2m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter (one stick is a half cup. I have not tried this with margarine.)
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt (more or less to taste)
1/2 teaspoon cajun seasoning (I like Tony Chachere's or Emiril's Essence but feel free to make your own)
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (always use a high quality paprika, otherwise it has no flavor and you're just adding it for color)

Steps:

Melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave for approximately 10 - 20 seconds. You want it to be very soft but not liquefied. Do not overheat it or it will separate and the other ingredients will sink straight to the bottom.
Stir the butter until it is a smooth, creamy consistency. Add the other ingredients and stir. Enjoy!
Tips:.
You can refrigerate any leftover butter and use it again. When you reheat, follow the same rules as above. We find that the butter has better flavor on the second use, so you may want to make it ahead of time and let it "steep" in the fridge.
I use dried herbs and spices, but feel free to use fresh if you have them. Everything is better fresh. Just remember to use double the amount of herbs.
