Pan Seared Pepper Salmon

Pan seared salmon with pepper, butter, garlic, herbs, and butter.

Pan Seared Pepper Salmon

Another easy to make and delicious entree that will delight all at the dinner table! This pepper encrusted salmon develops a beautiful crispy skin and the butter, garlic, thyme, and dill give it a so much flavor without overpowering the delicate natural flavor of the salmon.

This is an elegant dish that will impress anyone you make it for. Perfect for a romantic dinner or a special night. Whatever the reason, you will make everyone at the table very happy. I recommend you serve this with potatoes, asparagus, or rice.

You could serve the salmon with Asparagus with Garlic and Lemon, Asparagus with Moroccan Spices, Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus or Potatoes Au Gratin.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound of Salmon Fillets with skin on (about two pieces)

• 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme

• 1 teaspoon of fresh dill

• Peppercorn medley

• Sea salt

• 1 head of garlic (halved)

• 1 teaspoon of fresh parsley

• Unsalted butter

• Olive oil

Method

1. Generously pepper the salmon on both sizes.

2. Sprinkle with salt on both sides. Set aside.

3. In a frying pan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the halved head of garlic with the cloves facing down. Once the garlic becomes fragrant, add 3 tablespoons of olive oil.

4. Add the dill and thyme to the pan. Let it infuse the butter and oil (about 1 minute).

5. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and increase the heat to medium high.

6. Once the oil is hot, place the salmon fillets in the pan, skin down first. Cook until the bottom has turned a lighter color (see Figure 1).

7. Using a spatula gently flip the salmon fillets (Figure 2). Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes basting constantly with the juices in the pan. If there is not enough juices, add another tablespoon of butter.

8. Once the salmon has changed color, it is ready to be served.

9. Serve and pour some of the juices from the pan on top of the salmon.

10. Enjoy!
