Preparation

Step 1

- Mix the butter, chives, ginger, lemon juice, and soy sauce. Set aside.

- Preheat a grill or grill pan. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and rub with the oil. Wipe the grill pan grates clean and rub with a paper towel dipped in oil. Add the salmon skin side down and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the skin is lightly charred and crisp.

- Flip the fish and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the flesh side, until the flesh flakes with gentle pressure from your finger, but is still slightly translucent in the middle.

- Serve the salmon with a generous spoonful of the flavored butter, which should begin to melt on contact.
