Steps:
- Place mint, buttermilk, sour cream, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in the bowl of a food processor or jar of a blender; process until thoroughly combined. Transfer to a bowl; set sauce aside.
- Add 2 teaspoons oil to a large cast-iron skillet or broiler pan; place under broiler so that bottom is about 5 inches from heat source. Turn broiler on.
- Score salmon skin crosswise in three places to roughly portion the fish into 4 pieces. Rub remaining teaspoon oil over skin; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper.
- When oil in skillet begins to smoke, lay fish, skin-side up, in skillet and cook until skin is blistered and charring, about 5 1/2 minutes for medium-rare.
- Cut salmon along scoring lines into 4 portions. Serve, skin-side up, with sauce.
