Crispy Skin Salmon

• 2 (6-ounce) pieces center-cut salmon fillet with skin, about1-inch thick
• Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened and divided
• 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon whole tarragon leaves

1. Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper.
2. Place skin side up and rub 1 1/2 tablespoons softened butter all over the skin of the salmon.
3. Transfer the salmon, buttered side up, to a sheet pan.
4. Chill in the fridge to firm the butter, about 20 minutes.
5. Preheat the broiler to high.
6. Place the salmon about 5 inches from the heat source and cook until the skin is crispy and the fish is cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes.
7. In a small saucepan over moderate heat, whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, mustard and tarragon leaves.
8. Divide the sauce between 2 plates and place 1 piece of salmon on top of each pool of sauce.
9. What Makes This Recipe Really Sing: This is the coolest way to get crispy skin on fish ever and the crispy skin is like a naturally salted and big flavored chip, so it's the best part!
