Herb Butter Salmon Recipe

Well, i made some salmon steak at home the past two days, and here i'm gonna share the recipe with the others, of all three different types of flavors for salmon steak.

Herb Butter Salmon (1 serving)

-    1 tbsp Tarragon, 1 tbsp Chives, 1 ½ tbsp Parsley, 1 tsbp Dijon Mustard, Butter ¼ cup, 1    tbsp of green   spring onion, ground black pepper, finely chopped red onions (shallots) x 1  pcs & garlic x 2 cloves.

-       Paste butter on the salmon and grill for 4-5 minutes.

n   Melt the butter, add and mixed well the herbs mentioned above including the mustard,  and other ingredients and mix well. After mixing, can apply it on the fish and leave it for about 30 minutes. 

     Next you could either grill the fish 180 - 200 degree celcius or pan fry it until its cooked , no oil is needed as there is already butter on it. Its best to not make it too dry, what i did was to pan fry it for roughly about 3-5 mins and i placed it in the oven for a little while more about 2-3mins before serving.

    This is a great and healthy dish, with omega 3 oils found in salmon and fatty acids which are good for the body & brain, i garnished the plate with some vegetables; asparagus too.

    For the asparagus, i apply some oil on it before placing it on the pan & then oven, very quickly i removed them, say for both total time of 2mins. As i do not want to burn up the good nutrients inside it with high heat. Therefore, i ate it half cooked and half raw, quite crunchy and it tasted good.

    This is the herb butter, though the appearance might not be too beautiful, but it tasted good with the herbs in it.

    The herbs and ingredients for the salmon.

    This is the looks of the butter herb before application onto the salmon.

Update of Salmon Herb Butter : 

   I baked it instead of pan fry this time. I baked it for about 15 - 20 minutes with high heat of 200 degree celcius. I guess it taste better with baking, as the butter being absorbed into the fish itself. Also the colour turned out to be nicer, golden brown with the orangey colour of the fish. Delicious...... I'm still feeling hungry even after eating the whole plate. 

My plate of salmon for dinner.

 The culinery doesnt look too good though. 

Two servings : one for myself and another for my sis. Actually, i can finish the two plates all by myself :P

Picture of the herbs butter paste on both my salmon fishes. Not easy to stick on it though. When i bake, the melted herb butter will absorb into the salmon fish. Hence, it gives the fish its taste. 

Two empty plates of salmon steak for dinner. We practically finished it within minutes. Hehe. I still crave for it now.... Hungry....
