Salmon with Tarragon & Shallot Butter Sauce

Season the fillets of salmon with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and then add the salmon, skin side down.

Cook until the salmon is cooked almost all the way through, about 4-5 minutes. Flip the salmon and cook for about 2 more minutes, or until the salmon is just cooked through. Place the salmon on a plate and set aside.

Pour the excess oil out of the pan and place the pan back on the stove, over medium heat. Add 4 tablespoons of butter to the pan.

Once the butter melts, add the chopped shallots and squeeze in the lemon juice. Add the chopped fresh tarragon, season the sauce with salt and pepper, and cook for 1 minute.

Plate the salmon, spoon the sauce over each piece, and serve immediately.
