Instructions
- Melt the butter in a cast-iron pan over medium-low heat. Add the thyme and rosemary, and let herbs cook for a minute just until they release their fragrance. Remove from the heat. Allow the thyme and rosemary to infuse in the butter for 20 minutes.
- Add mustard, honey, salt and pepper to reserved butter. Mix well.
- Add wild salmon to pan. Brush wild salmon with butter herb mixture. Add a few sprigs of rosemary and thyme to butter mixture.
- If using a grill, prepare charcoal grill by heating the coals until they’re pale grey and glowing orange, about 20 minutes. Move hot coals to one side of the grill, and place the cast-iron pan with fish on the opposite side.
- If cooking on stovetop, bring cast iron pan to medium heat.
- Using a spoon, continuously spoon butter and herb mixture on top of the wild salmon, bathing the fish in it.
- Continue cooking and basting until the fish flakes when poked in the middle and it is cooked to your liking, about 8-10 minutes.
- Serve sprigs of fresh herbs on top, and wedges of fresh lemon.
