Ingredients
For the Salmon:
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil or ghee
- 1 salmon fillet 1-pound
- 1 tsp paprika omit for AIP, ground
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp salt sea salt
Orange Butter Lemon Sauce:
- 2 Tbsp orange juice
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp ghee or butter, melted
- 1 tsp pure maple syrup optional
Instructions
- Stir together the ingredients for the citrus butter sauce in a small bowl or jar.
- Heat the oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. While oil is heating, sprinkle the salmon with paprika, ground ginger, and sea salt (or choice of spices/herbs).
- Carefully place the salmon on the skillet skin-side down. Cook until bottom turns golden brown and crispy, about 4 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and carefully flip the salmon to the flesh side. Cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes, until salmon is cooked-through.
- Remove salmon from heat and pour the sauce over the salmon - this will generate some steam, so do this step carefully. Allow salmon to sit until much of the sauce has evaporated.
- Serve salmon with choice of side dishes.
Notes
- *You can replace the paprika and ground ginger with any of your favorite spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, lemon pepper, or cumin.
