ROASTED SALMON WITH LEMON-GARLIC HERB BUTTER
As I watched Food Network's Ina Garten make Salmon Nicoise, I was inspired to use the technique of smoothing a thick marinade over salmon filets before roasting. Her marinade is olive oil-based, whereas mine is butter-based and resembles herb butter. My husband was returning from a business trip, so I wanted to surprise him with an elegant dinner. I served this dish alongside lemon-roasted asparagus and roasted garlic smashed potatoes. Needless to say, he was very pleased. Hope you enjoy as well!

Steps:
- Remove salmon fillets from refrigerator and allow to rest at room temperature 10 minutes. Meanwhile prepared garlic lemon butter sauce. In a small saucepan melt 1 tsp butter over medium heat. Add garlic and saute until lightly golden brown, about 1 - 2 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice. Let sauce simmer until it has reduced by half (to about 3 Tbsp), about 3 minutes. Stir in butter and honey and whisk until combined. Set sauce aside. Dab both sides of salmon dry with paper towels, season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once oil is shimmering add salmon and cook about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Plate salmon (leaving oil in pan) and drizzle each serving generously with butter sauce, sprinkle with parsley and garnish with lemon slices if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon fillet possible. Fresh salmon will have a bright pink color and a mild, briny smell. Avoid salmon that is dull in color or has a strong, fishy smell.
- Use high-quality butter. The better the butter, the better the sauce will taste. Look for unsalted butter so that you can control the amount of salt in the dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the salmon will not cook evenly. Cook the salmon in batches if necessary.
- Cook the salmon over medium heat. If you cook the salmon over high heat, it will overcook and become dry. Medium heat will allow the salmon to cook through gently and evenly.
- Baste the salmon with the lemon-butter sauce throughout the cooking process. This will help to keep the salmon moist and flavorful.
Conclusion:
This garlic lemon butter salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the lemon-butter sauce is rich and flavorful. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
