Place the butter in a small bowl and microwave it just until it's softened, not melted.
2
To the softened butter, add the lemon zest, lemon juice, thyme, rosemary, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until thoroughly combined and set it aside.
3
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season each fillet with some kosher salt and black pepper.
4
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the salmon fillets skin side down.
5
Seared the salmon for about 4 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and easy to lift from the pan.
6
Carefully flip the salmon fillets and continue to cook for 3 more minutes on the other side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
7
Remove the pan from the heat. Apply a generous spoonful of the prepared lemon-herb butter on top of each salmon fillet, letting the residual heat from the salmon melt the butter.
8
Serve immediately while the salmon is still warm for the best flavor experience.
