Ingredients

4 servings
  1. 4 tablespoonsunsalted butter,
  2. softened
  3. 4-5anchovy fillets, minced (the ones packed in oil)
  4. 3fat garlic clove, minced
  5. 1/2 teaspooncoarse kosher salt
  6. Freshly ground black pepper
  7. 4(6­ to 8 ­ounce) salmon fillets. I cut the salmon into 3-4 inch pieces, it makes it easier to manage without breaking apart
  8. 2 tablespoonsdrained capers,
  9. 1/2lemon
  10. Fresh chopped parsley, for serving

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, mash together butter, anchovies, garlic, salt and pepper

  2. 2

    In a large ovenproof skillet, melt about half the anchovy butter. Add fish, skin side down. Cook for 3 minutes over high heat to brown the skin, spooning some of the pan drippings over the top of the fish as it cooks. Add capers to bottom of pan and transfer to oven. Roast until fish is just cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Remove pan from oven and add remaining anchovy butter to pan to melt. Place salmon on plates and spoon buttery pan sauce over the top. Squeeze the lemon half over the salmon and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve.
