Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Rinse fish; pat dry. Shred 1 teaspoon of peel from lemon; set aside. Juice half the lemon. In a small bowl combine lemon peel, snipped herbs, salt, pepper, and butter; stir to combine. Spread evenly on the salmon.

2. Heat a 12-inch nonstick oven-going skillet over medium heat. Add salmon, herb side down. Cook 3 minutes or until golden brown. Turn salmon; pour lemon juice over. Place pan in oven and cook 3 to 7 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.

3. Transfer to serving plates; drizzle with pan juices. Top with additional shredded lemon peel and snipped fresh herbs. Makes 4 servings.
