SALMON ROASTED IN BUTTER
This simple fish dish is best made with wild salmon, but it works equally well with the farmed sort. It's astonishingly easy. In a hot oven, melt butter in a skillet until it sizzles, add the salmon, flip, remove the skin, then allow to roast a few minutes more. You'll have an elegant fish dinner in about 15 minutes. Don't be afraid to play with herb and fat combinations: parsley, chervil or dill work well with butter; thyme, basil or marjoram with olive oil; or peanut oil with cilantro or mint.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Place the butter and half the herb in a roasting pan just large enough to fit the salmon and place it in the oven. Heat about 5 minutes, until the butter melts and the herb begins to sizzle.
- Add the salmon to the pan, skin side up. Roast 4 minutes. Remove from the oven, then peel the skin off. (If the skin does not lift right off, cook 2 minutes longer.) Sprinkle with salt and pepper and turn the fillet over. Sprinkle with salt and pepper again.
- Roast 3 to 5 minutes more, depending on the thickness of the fillet and the degree of doneness you prefer. Cut into serving portions, spoon a little of the butter over each and garnish with the remaining herb. Serve with lemon wedges.

ROASTED SALMON WITH GINGER-LIME BUTTER
Wild Pacific salmon is available in spring and summer, and the flavor is phenomenal. It definitely tastes better than farmed salmon and is always a better choice, sustainably speaking. Though it is expensive, think of it as a seasonal treat. Whether you choose wild king salmon, coho or sockeye, take care not to overcook it.

Steps:
- Lay the salmon on a rimmed baking sheet, and season with salt and pepper. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Make the ginger-lime butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, ginger, lime zest, lemon zest and lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste, and stir well to combine.
- Transfer salmon, uncovered, to the oven to cook for about 8 minutes. Check the salmon once or twice as it cooks. Depending on the thickness of the fish, it should be fully cooked when little white juices appear on the surface - moist and yielding with big flakes when probed. It may take 10 minutes for thick fillets.
- As the salmon cooks, put 2 tablespoons ginger-lime butter in a wide deep skillet or large pot over medium heat. When butter is melted, add spinach and a pinch of salt. Put on the lid and turn heat to medium-high. (You may need to add the spinach in batches.) After 2 minutes, remove lid and stir spinach to help it wilt. When all spinach is wilted, turn off the heat.
- Transfer salmon to a platter or divide among individual plates. Smear the remaining ginger-lime butter on the fish. Surround with wilted spinach and lime wedges, and top with scallions.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillet: Look for a fillet that is firm and has a vibrant color. Avoid fillets that are soft or have any discoloration.
- Pat the salmon dry: Before roasting, pat the salmon fillet dry with a paper towel. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent the salmon from steaming.
- Season the salmon generously: Season the salmon fillet with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before roasting. This will help the salmon develop a flavorful crust.
- Use a high-quality butter: The butter you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the roasted salmon. Use a high-quality, unsalted butter that is made from real cream.
- Roast the salmon at a high temperature: Roast the salmon at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit or higher) for a short amount of time. This will help the salmon cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
- Baste the salmon with butter: During the last few minutes of roasting, baste the salmon with the melted butter. This will help the salmon develop a golden-brown crust and keep it moist.
- Let the salmon rest before serving: After roasting, let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the fish, resulting in a more flavorful and tender dish.
Conclusion:
Roasted salmon with butter is a simple yet delicious dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or potatoes. With its crispy skin, tender flesh, and flavorful butter sauce, roasted salmon with butter is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
