Hawaiian-Style Salmon
Servings 4
Ingredients
Hawaiian style salmon
- 4 6-ounce salmon filets
- 3 tablespoons butter softened
- 1 ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ - 1 teaspoon cayenne
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Caramelized Meyer lemon relish
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ Meyer lemon thinly sliced
- ½ jalapeno, sliced seeds removed if desired
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
- juice of ½ Meyer lemon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the salmon on a baking sheet. Combine the softened butter with paprika, cayenne, garlic, salt and pepper. Adjust the amount of cayenne depending on how spicy you want your salmon. Spread the butter on top of the salmon and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the desired degree of doneness.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the lemon and jalapeno slices and cook until caramelized and browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add chopped cilantro and the juice of ½ lemon. Season relish with salt and pepper and drizzle on top of the salmon. Serve.
Notes
You can adjust how spicy you want your salmon by adjusting the amount of cayenne in the butter. For a mild version, use ½ teaspoon cayenne.
