Ingredients

    4 Tbsp butter
    1 (2-3 pound) salmon fillet, skin on (but scaled) or off, pin bones removed
    Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
    Minced fresh parsley leaves for garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 475 Degrees F. Melt the butter in a medium roasting pan--- either on top of the stove or in the oven as it preheats--- until the foam subsides.

Place the salmon in the butter, flesh side down, and put the pan in the oven. Roast about 5 minutes, then turn and roast 3 to 6 minutes longer, until the salmon is done (peek between the flakes with a thin bladed knife). Sprinkle with salt and pepper, garnish, and serve immediately.
