Roast Salmon With Hazelnut Butter
In a bowl, combine the butter, hazelnuts, thyme, and lemon rind. Mix them
to form a smooth paste.
Set the oven at 450 degrees. Drizzle some oil onto a baking dish large
enough to hold the salmon. Set the salmon, skinned side down, in the dish.
Sprinkle each piece of salmon with salt and pepper. Rub 1 tablespoon of the
hazelnut butter on each one. Transfer the salmon to the hot oven and roast it
for 10 to 15 minutes or until it is cooked through. Serve at once.
