1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill 1 garlic clove, mincedInstructions:
1.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2.
Season the salmon fillet with salt and pepper.
3.
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, lemon juice, parsley, dill, and garlic.
Mix well to form a paste.
4.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the salmon fillet, skin-side down.
Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
5.
Flip the salmon and transfer the skillet to the oven.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.

7.
Remove the salmon from the oven and place it on a serving plate.
Drizzle the melted lemon-herb butter over the salmon and serve immediately.
Tips:
For a milder flavor, use half lemon juice and half white wine in the butter paste.
If you don’t have fresh parsley and dill, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried herbs of each.
To check if the salmon is cooked through, insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet.
It should flake easily and be opaque throughout.
