salmon filets with pepper and coriander

a.k.a. filets de saumon au poivre et à la coriandre

this is one of my fave recipes for salmon!
(recipe stolen from SAQ magazine)

45 ml (3 tsp.) chopped italian parsley
45 ml (3 tsp.) finely chopped orange zest
50 ml (1/4 cup) whole coriander seeds, crushed
15 ml (1 tsp.) brown sugar
10 ml (2 tsp. cracked black pepper
salt
6 180 g (6 oz.) salmon filets, with skin
15 ml. (1 tsp.) butter
15 ml. (1 tsp.) oil

In a small bowl, mix the parsley, orange zest, coriander, brown sugar and pepper.
Salt the salmon filets and then cover filets with the mix (on the flesh of the filets only).
In a frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter and oil.
Cook each filet for 4 minutes on each side, then put them in a preheated 150º C (300º F) oven covered with foil until ready to serve.
