This lemon butter salmon is simple and pretty amazing.Ingredients:
3/4 lb. Atlantic Salmon (cut into two pieces)
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 tbs. Salted butter
4 leaves of fresh basil (chopped)
1 tbs. lemon juice
1 tbs. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Directions:
Place salmon on a plate, drizzle with EVOO, sprinkle salt and pepper to your liking on top of salmon fillets. Heat a non-stick skillet on low-medium heat. Add fish to cook for 7 mins on each side, flipping occasionally.
For lemon butter sauce, combine butter, lemon juice and chopped basil in a microwavable-safe dish (or coffee cup). Once fish is finished cooking, heat sauce for 12 seconds to melt butter and infuse flavors. Stir and top fish with sauce to serve immediately.
I finally learned how to cook salmon the "right" way. My new boyfriend(chef gordon ramsay) showed me how(on youtube). I used to bake it and could never tell when it was done, so it was always under done or over done. He says to cut slits in the skin side(so it cooks evenly), then cook it skin side first until it's 2/3 done, then flip ONLY ONCE to meat side for just a few min.
ReplyDeleteLove Ramsay! Somehow mine always comes out perfectly, but I will try the slits next time. ;)
