Instructions
Heat large skillet on medium-high. Add ghee.
When the melted ghee is shimmering, you will know that it is ready for the salmon.
Salt and pepper the skin side of the filet and put the SKIN side down FIRST.
You will sear the salmon on this side for 5 minutes before flipping.
While the salmon is cooking on the skin side, salt and pepper the flesh side.
After 5 minutes have passed, flip salmon over to the flesh side and cook for only 1 minute.
Remove salmon and cover with foil to rest.
Meanwhile, in the same skillet, add butter and allow to melt.
Once melted, add lemon juice and simmer for 1 minute.
Add wine or stock and fresh herbs. Simmer until liquid has thickened…about 1 to 2 minutes.
Arrange Salmon over a bed of arugula. Drizzle with pan sauce and ENJOY!!!!
