SALMON WITH LIME HERB BUTTER
Reader's Digest, as homey as it gets, took me by surprise with an international lineup of recipes in its "30 Minute Cookbook." I gave its recipe for salmon with lime-herb butter a try, partly because keeping compound butters in the refrigerator is a terrific time saver.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Finely grate zest from one lime, and squeeze its juice; set aside. Cut remaining lime into 8 wedges; set aside.
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine butter, ginger, 8 sprigs cilantro and lime zest and juice. Process until the mixture is smooth. Season to taste with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper; process again. Mound butter on a piece of foil, and shape into a cylinder. Cover tightly with foil, and place in freezer.
- Brush a baking sheet with oil, and place salmon fillets skin side down on sheet. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Bake until fish flakes easily, about 8 minutes.
- To serve, remove lime butter from freezer, and cut into thick rounds. Place a fillet on each of four plates and top each with an equal portion of lime butter. Garnish each plate with two lime wedges and a sprig of cilantro, and serve.
