Description
On the table in 15 minutes, and tasty!
Ingredients
2 pounds salmon
4 Tbsp butter, melted
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp basil
1/4 tsp oregano
Instructions
Melt butter and set aside. Combine spices and sprinkle on a plate. Wash salmon and pat dry with paper towels.
Cut salmon into similar sized pieces. Brush with melted butter and press onto spices, coating salmon thoroughly.
Heat a large frying pan (nonstick is my choice) over medium-high heat. Add approximately 1 Tbsp of melted butter to pan and swirl so it covers the bottom. Cook salmon flesh side down for 3 minutes, or until deeply browned. Flip so skin side is down, drizzle with remaining melted butter, and cook 5-6 minutes.
Slide a spatula between the fish and skin and serve.
Notes
Salmon varies drastically in thickness. If some of the salmon is very thin, trim it and cook separately (fast!) in leftover butter and spices. It makes a special treat!
