| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| salmon collar | 2 as needed |
| lime | 1 as needed |
| salt | to taste |
| black pepper | to taste |
| olive oil | to taste |
| unsalted butter | 1 small piece |
| whole milk | to taste |
| shiso leaves | to taste |
| minced garlic | to taste |
| white wine or cooking wine | to taste |

Rinse the salmon collars and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels (excess moisture prevents crisping). Make shallow cuts on the skin to prevent shrinking and warping during cooking.

Season with salt, black pepper, white wine, and a squeeze of lime juice. Rub evenly and marinate for 10–15 minutes.

Lightly sauté minced garlic in a pan until fragrant; set aside.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the marinated salmon collars skin-side down, pressing gently for 10 seconds to ensure even contact. Reduce to medium-low and pan-fry for 3–4 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.

Add a knob of unsalted butter to the pan.

Spoon the melted butter and oil over the fish continuously.

Blend milk and melted butter with an immersion blender until foamy. Spoon the foam over the fish repeatedly to keep it moist and juicy.

Drizzle the finished fish with the garlic butter sauce and a squeeze of lime juice. Garnish with sautéed garlic. Serve with shiso leaves to wrap the fish. The skin is golden and crispy while the flesh stays tender and rich — layers of salt, pepper, garlic, citrus, and butter make this irresistible!
