Sear-Roasted Salmon wLemon-Ginger butter




Source of Recipe


From Sear-Roasting for Crisp and Juicy Results


List of Ingredients




Serves four.

6 Tbs. butter, well softened at room temperature

2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice, warmed slightly

2 Tbs. minced fresh ginger

2 Tbs. snipped fresh chives

Olive oil for the pan

4 salmon fillets (5 oz. each), skinned if you like, patted dry

Salt and freshly ground black pepper



Recipe



In a bowl, blend the butter, lemon juice, ginger, and chives well. Set aside at room temperature.

Heat the oven to 500°F. Set a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and add just enough oil to make a light film. Sprinkle the salmon lightly with salt and pepper. When the oil is very hot, add the salmon, skin side up, and cook until nicely browned, about 1 min. Flip the fish over and put the skillet in the oven. Roast for 2 min. for medium rare; 4 min. for medium well. Check for doneness with the tip of a knife. Remove the pan from the oven, transfer the fish to serving plates, and immediately top the salmon with a dab of the lemon-ginger butter.
