It's astonishingly easy. In a hot oven, melt butter in a skillet until it sizzles, add the salmon, flip, remove the skin, then allow to roast a few minutes more. You'll have an elegant fish dinner in about 15 minutes. Don't be afraid to play with herb and fat combinations: parsley, chervil or dill work well with butter; thyme, basil or marjoram with olive oil; or peanut oil with cilantro or mint.","servings":4,"servings_text":"4 to 6 servings","total_time":"PT15M","ingredients":[{"text":"4 tablespoons (½ stick) butter","item":"butter","quantity":4,"unit":"tbsp","metric_alternate":{"quantity":0.5,"unit":"stick"}},{"text":"4 tablespoons minced chervil, parsley or dill","item":"minced chervil, parsley or dill","quantity":4,"unit":"tbsp"},{"text":"1 salmon fillet, 1 ½ to 2 pounds","item":"salmon fillet, 1 1/2 to 2 pounds","quantity":1},{"text":"Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste","item":"Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste"},{"text":"Lemon wedges","item":"Lemon wedges"}],"instructions":[{"number":1,"text":"Preheat the oven to 475 degrees.
