Salmon with Orange Butter



Ingredients :
  • 4 x 155 gms salmon cutlets
  • 170 gms salted butter, softened, cut into chunks
  • 1 tbsp orange juice concentrate
  • 1 tbsp orange zest, finely grated
  • 2 tsp finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Salt and pepper for seasoning 

Preparation : 
  • Slightly soften 125 gms of the butter, and mix with orange juice, orange zest, parsley and ¼ tsp salt.  
  • In a frying pan, melt the remaining butter. Keep the gas on medium so that the butter doesn’t burn.
  • Once the butter is moderately hot, add the salmon to the pan, and cook for around 3-4 minutes on each side. Make sure that the salmon is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the cutlet on a plate, and top off with a tablespoon of orange butter.
  • Garnish with orange wedges, topped off with a few slivers of orange zest and serve.
  • For a variation, you can add 1 tsp of Dijon mustard to the orange butter.
