Hi Foodies!
What is better than buttery, flaky, tender salmon? Last night, I made this really delicious salmon with compound butter (compound butter is butter with other ingredients, like herbs) The recipe is below, and I hope you try it!
Compound Butter:
- 2 sticks unsalted butter (softened)
- fresh dill
- fresh thyme
- lemon zest
- juice from one lemon
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- salt
Salmon
- 4 salmon fillets
- extra-virgin olive oil
- salt
- white pepper
- sliced lemon
- salted butter
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Make the compound butter: In a bowl, combine the unsalted butter, thyme, dill, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt.
- Prep the salmon: Drizzle salmon with extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and white pepper.
- Cook salmon: Heat salted butter in a pan. Then add your salmon fillets. Cook for about 90 seconds on each side. Place them in a casserole dish. They should not be completely cooked. Top with compound butter and lemon slices. Cook in your 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
