salmon with citrus herb butter

Yum, salmon! We try to have it weekly in our house, especially during pregnancy :) I usually just season it with s&p, but wanted to try something a little Spring-y. I threw together a few things with some butter and it turned out really tasty and was just as simple to make.

Citrus Herb Butter

1. mix together in a small bowl:

--a few TBS of butter at room temp

--zest of an orange and lemon

--a spoonful of chopped fresh herbs (I used dill and lemon thyme)

--sprinkle of salt

2. roll up in parchment or put in little butter molds.

3. throw in the fridge for at least 10 minutes.

*This butter would work great on any fish or chicken!

Here's all you do:

Preheat oven to 350.

Make your butter and let it sit in the fridge while you get everything else ready.

Sear salmon fillets over high heat in a teeny bit of butter, 1-2 minutes on each side.

Put in the oven to finish cooking to your liking.

Take out your butter, unroll it from the parchment or molds and place a slice on each fillet.

enjoy!
