Ingredients
- Citrus Tarragon Butter
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped tarragon or parsley
- 2 tablespoons grainy mustard
- 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Salmon
- Four boneless skinless salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- one large orange (reserve from grading zest), then sliced
- Sea salt and pepper
Instructions
- Blend butter with tarragon, mustard, orange zest, honey, garlic, and pepper. Scrape butter onto a sheet of plastic wrap; form into a log and chill for one hour or until set.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange oranges on a parchment paper–lined baking sheet to create 4 beds for the fish. Place fish on orange slices; season with salt and pepper. Roast fish for 10 to 12 minutes or until just coral in the center.
- Remove pan from oven and immediately place a couple thin slices of butter onto each fillet to melt and glaze fish.
Notes
- Store extra flavored butter in the freezer as a quick flavor booster to all kinds of dishes. It is a delicious tossed with steamed green beans, asparagus or brussels sprouts topped with toasted almonds. And a few spoonfuls and quick rice for pilaf; or used to based roast chicken or pork chops.
