Salmon Roasted in Butter

Super easy weeknight dinner, takes 15 minutes to make!  

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter
4 tablespoons minced chervil, parsley or dill (I love using Herbs de Provence)
1 salmon fillet, 1 1/2 to 2 pounds
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Lemon wedges

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees.  Place the butter and half the herbs
in a roasting pan just large enough to fit the salmon and place it in the oven.
Heat about 5 minutes, until the butter melts and the herbs begin to sizzle.

Add the salmon to the pan, skin side up.  Roast 4 minutes.  Remove from the
oven, then peel the skin off.  (If the skin does not lift right off, cook 2 minutes longer).  Sprinkle with salt and pepper and turn the fillet over.  Sprinkle with
salt and pepper again.

Roast 3-5 minutes more, depending on the thickness of the fillet and the degree of doneness you prefer.  Cut into serving portions, spoon a little of the butter over each and garnish with the remaining herb.

Serve with lemon wedges.
