Ingredients
4 tbsps stick buttersaltblack pepper1 salmon fillet (2 to 3 pounds skin)2 tbsps parsley leaves (chopped fresh, garnish)2 tbsp minched shallot1/4 cup fresh parsley or basil leaves OR 2 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon and thyme
Directions
1. Heat the oven to 475°F. When the oven is hot, put the butter on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put the pan in the oven for the butter to melt, about 1 minute. Watch it the whole time: As soon as the foaming stops, remove the pan
2. Put the salmon in the seasoned butter, skin side down, and sprinkle the top with more salt and pepper, add shallots and the herbs. Return the pan to the oven.
3. Roast until the salmon is just cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes. To see whether the fish is done, stick a paring knife between the layers of flesh; the center should be bright pink and still a little translucent. Garnish with the parsley and serve.
