Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb. salmon (portioned into four pieces (4 oz. each))
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt (to taste)
  • black pepper (to taste)
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 scallions (thinly sliced)

Instruction

  • Season the salmon with plenty of salt and pepper.
  • Heat up the olive oil (2 tablespoons) in a non-stick skillet and place the salmon skin side up in the skillet. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes, or until the sides of the salmon are starting to cook.
  • Flip the salmon and cook for a couple more minutes on the other side. You'lll know it's cooked when it flakes easily apart with a fork. Try not to overcook the fish, otherwise it will be a bit dry.
  • Meanwhile, melt the 4 tablespoons salted butter (in the microwave or on the stovetop) and add the chopped scallions to it.
  • Serve seared salmon drizzled with scallion butter.
