Ingredients
4 tbsp Golden Ghee, divided
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
Pinch sea salt
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
1 shallot, quartered
1/4 lemon
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of ghee with the garlic, thyme, and salt. Set aside.
- In a medium cast iron skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of ghee over medium heat. When the ghee is hot, add the salmon fillets, skin-side down. Wedge the shallot quarters between each salmon fillet. Sear the fillets for 1 minute, flip, and sear for another minute.
- Break the shallot quarters into individual layers, and top the salmon with the seasoning mixture.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 8 minutes.
- Serve the salmon and roasted shallots hot, with a squeeze of lemon.
