Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
Place butter and 1/2 of the herbs in a roasting pan just large enough to fit the salmon; place in the oven and heat 5 minutes, until the butter melts and the herbs begin to sizzle.
Add the salmon to the pan, skin side up; roast 4 minutes.
Remove from oven; peel the skin off. (If the skin does not lift right off, cook 2 minutes longer.)
Sprinkle with salt and pepper; turn fillet over; sprinkle with salt and pepper on second side.
Roast 3 - 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet and the degree of doneness preferred.
Cut into serving sized portions; spoon a little of the herbed butter over each serving and garnish with the remaining herbs. Serve with lemon wedges.
