Microwave the ear of corn on high for 2 minutes. Flip and continue cooking on high until the kernels are hot and steaming, approximately 2 more minutes.
Using a pot holder or folded towel, place corn on a cutting board. Cut off the bottom, exposing 1/4 to 1/2 inch of kernels. Hold the top and squeeze the corn out of the husk. The husk and silk remain behind.
Spread with butter and season with salt to taste.
