Steps:
- Add the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a nonstick skillet and place over medium-high heat. Season the salmon on both sides with salt and pepper. Add the fish to the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fish and the degree of doneness you like. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
- Return the skillet to medium heat and add the honey, soy, remaining 2 tablespoons butter and half of the lime zest and juice. Cook, stirring, until the butter melts and starts to bubble. Cook for a minute until the sauce thickens a little. Add the salmon and spoon over the sauce. Cook for another minute, basting as you go. Sprinkle generously with the cilantro.

THAI SALAD WITH CILANTRO LIME DRESSING
I created this salad to replicate one I tried on a cruise several years ago. It goes over very well at family gatherings and potlucks year-round. We love the spice of the Thai chile, but if your family isn't into spice, feel free to leave it out. It will still be delicious! —Donna Gribbins, Shelbyville, Kentucky

Tips:
- For the freshest salad, use sushi-grade salmon.
- If you don't have sushi-grade salmon, you can use regular salmon that has been cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a sharp knife to chop the salmon into small pieces. This will help to prevent the salmon from becoming mushy.
- Don't overdress the salad. The dressing should be used to enhance the flavor of the salmon, not overpower it.
- Serve the salad immediately after it is made. This will prevent the salmon from becoming dry.
