10 Minute Lemon Salmon Rice Bowl Recipe

Wild Salmon Filet

Salmon filet roast to the perfect flaky, tender texture after only 4-6 minutes per 1/2″ of thickness. Making them another secret to getting this nutritious meal on the table in only 10 minutes.

Fresh salmon should be firm to the touch, smooth and not smell strongly at all. If you can’t find good quality fresh salmon choose frozen instead.  Wild salmon that’s flash frozen right after catch, or soon after, often has better flavor and texture than what you’ll find at the seafood counter.

Compound Butter

Topped with flavor-packed Lemon Herb Compound Butter the salmon fillet only needs just a sprinkling of salt and pepper before being popped in the screaming hot oven. Compound butters are simply softened butter mixed with whatever flavors you dream up! So easy and super versatile. They gives loads of flavor to baked and grilled meats, shellfish or veggies with only minimal effort. Steak, lamb chops or big crusty loaf of bread can all benefit from a little buttah. Especially butter with stuff in it. And since compound butter can be wrapped and frozen mix up a bunch  before the craze of summer and grilling season starts to pull out whenever needed.

With fresh garlic, basil, parsley and loads of lemon zest this Lemon Herb Compound Butter is so good on salmon. But get creative with what you put in it and what you put it on. Mix it up and experiment! Roasted Tomato Rockefeller is my favorite summer compound butter concoction with roasted garlic, spinach, parsley, blue cheese and sundried tomatoes. A must have for oyster bbqs. And honey butter is basically perfection on cornbread and corn on the cob.

Ingredients

• 1 to 1 1/2 pounds wild salmon fillet cut into 4 6 ounce pieces
• 1/2 cup lemon herb compound butter
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil

• 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
• 1 clove garlic finely grated or minced

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Oil a baking sheet and place in the oven to preheat as well.
  
• Place salmon fillets skin side down on hot baking sheet and top with 1 tablespoon of herb butter per piece.
