Prepare compound butter by whisking all ingredients, except one tablespoon of chives, until smooth. Place on parchment paper in a log shape and roll to an even thickness in the paper, then refrigerate.
In a non-stick pan on medium-high heat, place enough oil to coat the bottom. Season each fillet to taste and sear skin side down being careful not to over crowd the pan. Sear for about 4 minutes until skin is crispy and brown. Carefully turn fillets and finish in oven for an additional 6 minutes for medium-rare.
Arrange fillets on serving platter and top with a ½” medallion on compound butter. Use a torch to slightly melt butter and garnish with remaining chives. Serve immediately with optional lemon wheels for garnish.
