Instructions

1 Prepare Salmon

Pat salmon dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.

2 Sear the Salmon

Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down. Press gently with spatula for 30 seconds to prevent curling. Cook 4-5 minutes until skin is crispy. Flip and cook 2-3 minutes more.

3 Make Herb Butter

Remove salmon. Add butter, garlic, herbs, lemon zest and juice to pan. Let butter melt and foam. Spoon over salmon.

4 Roast Vegetables

Toss asparagus and tomatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper. Roast at 425°F for 12 minutes. Serve alongside salmon with herb butter drizzled over everything.
