Grilled Salmon with Herb Lemon Butter
adapted from Food Network.com
Ingredients
1/4 c butter, softened
2 Meyer lemons, zested
1/2 tsp dill
1/2 tsp chives
1/2 bunch thyme, finely chopped or 1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 small clove garlic, smashed and finely chopped
salt and pepper
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin-on
olive oil
Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature. In a small bowl, combine the butter, zest, herbs and garlic to make a compound butter. Mix well. Preheat grill to medium hot.
Coat the fish with olive oil. Place the salmon, skin side down, on the clean, preheated grill. Cook for 8 minutes. As the salmon cooks it will turn from translucent orange to opaque pink.
Turn the salmon over and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the grill and top with the room temperature compound butter. The butter should act as a sauce and melt over and coat the grilled salmon.
Bring on the summer!!
