Ingredients
FOR HERB MIX:
2 tbsp. thinly sliced chives
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
1/3 cup finely chopped mint
1/3 cup finely chopped dill
FOR SALT AND SPICE MIX:
1-1/2 tbsp coarse salt
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp ground cardamom
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp coarse ground white pepper
FOR SALMON:
2 tbsp. peanut oil, or other neutral vegetable oil
4 6-oz salmon fillets, each about 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick, skin on
Kosher salt
Finely ground white pepper
Cayenne pepper
2 tbsp. butter
Preparation
*Combine the fresh herbs in a large bowl. *In a separate bowl, combine the salt and spices. *Preheat the oven to 225 degrees. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-low heat. Add the salmon, skin side down, and cook until crispy, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Dot the salmon with butter and place it in the oven for about 4 minutes. (The salmon will look rare in the middle and more fully cooked on the outside.) Remove from pan. Arrange the fillets on warm plates, then sprinkle with herbs. Dust lightly with salt and spice mix and serve.
