Ingredients
- 4 tbsp (½ stick) unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 lemon zest
- 1 tsp whole-grain mustard
- 1 minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
FOR THE SALMON
- 12 ounces centre-cut salmon fillet
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, lemon zest, mustard, parsley, salt, and pepper to make the compound butter. Put aside.
- Place the salmon fillets in an 8-by-8-inch baking dish and drizzle with olive oil.
- Allow to stand for 20 minutes at room temperature after seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 125°F. When flaked with a fork, a softer, slightly translucent pink should appear toward the centre of the flesh.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and, while still hot, spread 2 tablespoons of the compound butter over the top.
- Sprinkle with the parsley and serve hot.
