Herbed Salmon



This is a great Salmon recipe but it also works well with other fish. I use it a lot with Steal Head Trout and Cod.

1          lb         salmon fillet, cut into 4 pieces
1          lg.        lemon  (1 tsp lemon zest, juice from 1/2 of the lemon)
1          tbsp     snipped fresh dill weed
1          tbsp     snipped fresh tarragon
1          tbsp     snipped fresh Italian flat leaf parsley
1/2       tsp       salt
1/2       tsp       pepper
2          tbsp     butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350°. Rinse fish and pat dry. Set aside.
In a small bowl, grate 1 tsp zest from lemon. To this add the snipped herbs, salt, pepper, and butter; stir to combine. Spread evenly over fish.

Heat a non-stick oven safe skillet over medium heat. Add salmon, herb side down. Cook 3 minutes or until golden brown. Turn fish over; squeeze 1/2 of the lemon over the top and place the skillet in the oven for 3 to 7 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Transfer to plates and drizzle with pan juices. Top with additional lemon zest and snipped herbs if desired.


Yields: 4 servings
