Salmon Poached in Butter

Quicky sauteed in chive butter,
this is a very good tasting and
easy to prepare elegant meal.
I took a salmon fillet out of the
freezer and thawed it in cold water
and then sauteed for 8 minutes.

Ingredients:
1 frozen salmon fillet
water for thawing salmon 1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon dried chives
salt to taste
fresh lemon juice
Directions:
Remove salmon fillet from freezer and
place in a bowl and cover with cold
water for 15 minutes or until thawed.
Preheat sautee pan to medium heat.
Melt butter in pan and sprinkle in
the dried chives just before placing
in the salmon fillet to poach on first
side for about 6 minutes, season the top
with salt to taste and then turn fillet to
poach other side for about 2 minutes.
Sprinkle with more salt to taste and serve
with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to taste.
