Sear-Roasted Salmon With Lemon Ginger Butter

• 6 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
• 2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 (5 ounce) salmon fillets, skinned
• sea salt
• fresh ground black pepper

1. Heat oven to 500u0b0F.
2. Combine the butter, lemon juice, ginger and chives in a small bowl. Set aside and keep at room temperature while the salmon cooks.
3. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium high heat. Add olive oil to skillet.
4. Sprinkle salmon fillets with salt and pepper. When the oil is very hot, add the fillets to the skillet and cook until browned, about 1 - 2 minutes.
5. Flip the fish over and place the skillet in the hot oven. Roast for about 4 - 5 minutes. Check with the tip of a knife to make sure the salmon is done.
6. Remove the pan from the oven, and immediately transfer the fillets to a serving plate and top each fillet with a dab of the lemon ginger butter.
