Salmon Roasted with Butter

I don't love salmon, but my parents do and I made this for them. Here is the recipe

Salmon Roasted with Butter

Serves 3

4 tablespoons of unsalted butter

3 (1/2 pound) salmon fillets

Salt, pepper

Thyme sprigs

3 tablespoons of dijon mustard

1 lemon, squeezed, keep the juice

Chives, minced

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Melt the butter in a medium roasting pan, until the foam subsides. 

Place the salmon in the butter, flesh side down, and put the pan in the oven. Roast for about 5 minutes, then turn and roast for another 3-6 minutes longer, until the salmon is done. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and top with chives and thyme.

In the hot pan with the salmon juices, whisk in the dijon mustard and lemon, and pour on top of the salmon. Top with chives or parsley. Enjoy the wonderful dish!
