Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 (5 ounce) salmon fillets, skinned
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 500°F.
  • Combine the butter, lemon juice, ginger and chives in a small bowl. Set aside and keep at room temperature while the salmon cooks.
  • Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium high heat. Add olive oil to skillet.
  • Sprinkle salmon fillets with salt and pepper. When the oil is very hot, add the fillets to the skillet and cook until browned, about 1 - 2 minutes.
  • Flip the fish over and place the skillet in the hot oven. Roast for about 4 - 5 minutes. Check with the tip of a knife to make sure the salmon is done.
  • Remove the pan from the oven, and immediately transfer the fillets to a serving plate and top each fillet with a dab of the lemon ginger butter.
