BROILED SALMON WITH CHILE, ORANGE AND MINT BUTTER
A butter flavored with vibrant citrus and herbs brings an easy elegance to your weeknight salmon. Red-pepper flakes give off a subtle heat - feel free to add more if you like - while orange zest and fresh mint cut the richness of this superbly fatty fish. A crisp green salad or sautéed asparagus would work well alongside, as would a glass of rosé.

Steps:
- Turn on the broiler and position the oven rack to sit about 6 inches below it.
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add red-pepper flakes, and cook for about 1 minute. Remove butter from heat, and stir in orange zest and 2 tablespoons mint. Set aside.
- Season salmon well with salt and pepper and place skin-side down on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Spoon butter mixture evenly over the top of each fillet.
- Broil salmon for 4 to 6 minutes until the skin becomes opaque and the fish appears flaky. It should be medium-rare in the thickest part of the fillet. If you prefer your salmon a bit more cooked, leave it in for another minute or so, moving it to a lower rack if the tops get too dark. Serve, and scatter with remaining mint. Season with flaky salt, if desired.
