Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
Place butter and half of the herb in a roasting pan just large enough to fit the salmon; place in the oven. Bake about 5 minutes, until the butter melts and the herb begins to sizzle.
Add the salmon to the pan, skin side up. Roast 4 minutes. Remove from oven, then peel the skin off. If the skin does not lift right off, cook 2 minutes longer.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste; turn the fillet over. Sprinkle with salt and pepper again.
Roast 3 - 5 more minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet and the degree of doneness preferred. Remove from oven.
Cut into serving sized portions; spoon some of the herbed butter over each, garnishing with the remaining herb. Serve with lemon wedges.
