👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Take the salmon out of the fridge 15 minutes before cooking so it comes closer to room temperature; this helps it cook more evenly.
- 2 Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes. While waiting, pat the surface of the salmon dry with a paper towel so the crust turns out crispier.
- 3 Heat a nonstick pan with ghee over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the salmon with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- 4 Place the salmon skin-side down, pressing gently for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- 5 Flip the salmon, add the butter to the pan, let it melt, and spoon it over the salmon for about 1 minute.
- 6 Transfer the pan (or the salmon) into the preheated oven and roast for 6-8 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillet, until the inside is cooked through but still juicy.
- 7 While waiting, make the sauce by whisking the egg yolks together with the remaining melted butter from the pan and the bone broth over low heat, stirring constantly until slightly thickened; don't let it boil so the eggs don't curdle.
- 8 Remove the salmon from the oven and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over it while still hot, letting it melt slightly.
- 9 Drizzle the salmon with the buttery egg yolk sauce and serve immediately while warm.
💡 Tips
• Choose salmon with a thin layer of white fat between the flesh, a sign of good quality that yields a juicier result.
• Don't roast it too long in the oven since salmon dries out and toughens quickly; check for doneness around the 6-minute mark.
• If you don't have bone broth, the buttery egg yolk sauce is still delicious without it, just use melted butter alone.
• The leftover crispy salmon skin can be enjoyed on its own as a crunchy, high-fat snack.
