Salmon With Anchovy-Garlic Butter

Don't let the anchovies throw you off. You'll hardly know they're there but they add something that makes this delicious and decadent. Seriously, you'll think you're eating restaurant salmon. Serve with a rice dish or a hunk of good bread to soak up the sauce. This recipe is from Melissa Clark.

Ingredients:

• 3 Tbl. butter, softened

• 4 anchovy fillets, minced

• 1 large garlic clove, grated (or finely minced)

• 1/2 tsp. sea salt

• Ground pepper

• 4 salmon fillets

• 2 Tbl. capers, drained and patted dry

• 1/2 lemon

• 1/2 cup chopped parsley

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Mix together the butter, anchovy, garlic, salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl.

3. Heat an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat (cast iron works well). Add half of the butter mixture and let it melt and get foamy. Put the salmon fillets into the pan (skin side down if there is skin). Cook for 3 minutes, spooning some of the butter over the fillets as they cook.

4. Add the capers then place the pan into the oven. Roast until the fish is just cooked through, about 8 minutes.

5. Remove the pan from the oven and add the rest of the butter, letting it melt in the hot pan.

6. Put a piece of salmon on each place and pour some of the butter on top. Squeeze some lemon juice on each piece and garnish with chopped parsley.
