Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets, about 200 g each, pin-boned, skin on
- sea salt, to season
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 50 g butter
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
- ¼ cup finely shredded parsley
- pinch dried ground saltbush, optional
- pinch ground aniseed myrtle, optional
- black pepper, to season
Instructions
- Season the salmon well with salt. Heat a frying pan over medium heat until very hot. Add the oil and add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, then place a weight on top for the first minute. Cook, without moving, for about 3 minutes or until the skin is crisp. Turn the salmon and cook for another minute or until cooked to your liking.
- Using a piece of scrunched up paper towel, blot any oil from the pan.
- Add the butter to the pan and cook until the butter foams and turns a light golden brown. Remove from the heat, then squeeze in the juice from a few lemon wedges, scatter over the parsley and spices, if using and gently stir to combine.
- Spoon the butter over the fish, grind over a little black pepper and serve.
