I was tired of cooking salmon the same old ways I always did, so I decided to go out on a limb and try something that I'd never done or even tasted before and really lucked out! I
chopped up a bunch of herbs I have in my garden, sprinkled the salmon with some sea salt (Hawaiian Salt), melted some butter and poured it over top the salmon. It was delish!!! I actually crave it and it's my new favorite way to eat salmon. Stab salmon with a fork to enhance flavors. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 min. (Check salmon to see if it flakes nicely) I usually lay some foil down inside the pan and cup it around the salmon so that the salmon is submerged in the butter sauce. *I'm sure you could cook it on the grill in the foil also, or foil pan or both for added protection from getting your hands all buttery.
Finely Chopped Herbs:
1 small sprig of thyme
1 4 inch sprig of oregano
1 sprig of rosemary
Some parsley (to taste)
2 leaves of sage
2-3 cloves of garlic (or more according to your taste)
Other Ingredients:
1 stick unsalted butter
Hawaiian Sea Salt
*I used sea salt because I was using unsalted butter and I actually preferred it to using regular butter, so that is how I will be cooking it from now on. I really think the sea salt is key to the awesome flavor without actually tasting the salt. *Just a sprinkle top and bottom of the fish so it's not too salty
Boneless/Skinless Salmon (I buy the pre-packaged ones from Costco)
*I used 4 fillets for this amount of herbs, they are about 4 oz each
