• 3 plate salmon immediately, drizzle each fillet with 1 1/2 - 2 tablespoon browned butter lime sauce and sprinkle with lime zest. serve warm.
• 4 to make the browned butter lime sauce: place butter in a small (light colored to monitor browning) saucepan. cook over medium heat, stirring pan constantly, until butter is fragrant and has turned a brownish coloring. careful not to burn.
• 5 remove browned butter from heat and add it, along with lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper to a blender. blend on low speed for about 30 seconds, until well blended. pour sauce into a small glass dish (note: whisk butter mixture with a fork before pouring onto salmon as it will separate, rewarm if needed).
