Herb Butter Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons of softened butter OR ghee
- 2 tbsp. fresh thyme
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- Sea salt
- Pepper
Main Ingredients
- 4 Salmon Steaks (about 6 to 7 ounces, each)
- Sea salt
- Pepper
- Sesame Oil
- Gluten-Free Breadcrumbs
- Lemon wedges for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your broiler to high. While it’s heating up, make the Herb Butter.
- Add the butter or ghee, thyme, garlic, sea salt and pepper to a food processor or mini chopper and blend it all up until the ingredients are well combined.
- Place a cast iron skillet into the oven to let it heat up while you prepare the salmon. You want to leave the skillet in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Arrange the salmon steaks on a workspace with the skin side up. Brush the skin lightly with sesame oil and sprinkle with sea salt and pepper.
- Flip the salmon steaks over and sprinkle salt and pepper on the flesh side. Take a heaping tablespoon of the herb butter and smear it into the salmon steak. Repeat amongst the rest of the fish.
- Sprinkle the fish lightly with breadcrumbs (about a tablespoon per piece). Remove the skillet from the oven and place each piece on pan, skin side down. Broil the salmon for 3 minutes and then remove the pan from the oven.
- Using a spatula, remove the fish from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Squeeze lemon juice over the fish if desired and enjoy!
