Time 36m

Yield 2 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 Tbsp. honey
1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt
1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature
2 Tbsp. finely chopped dill, plus more for serving
1 (1 lb.) boneless salmon fillet, preferably skin-on
4 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, divided

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium heat. Whisk 1 Tbsp. honey, 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt, and 1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest in a small bowl to combine. Add 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped, 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature, and 2 Tbsp. finely chopped dill and whisk again to combine (some lemon zest may remain separate and that's okay).
  • Tear off a large piece of foil according to the length and thickness of salmon (15x15" or larger) and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Place one 1 lb. boneless salmon fillet, preferably skin-on, arranging skin side down if skin is on, in center of foil (the skin will stick slightly to foil and brown while the fish cooks; you want this as it will add to the sauce). Spread garlic butter over fish, then drizzle 3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice on top. Carefully fold one side of foil up and over fish so lemon juice stays contained, then bring other sides up to meet it and fold together to seal, leaving about a 4" opening on top for steam to escape (this will help sauce reduce a bit).
  • Place foil packet on grate and grill fish until opaque throughout and firm, 16-20 minutes. Transfer packet to a cutting board and let fish rest 5 minutes.
  • Carefully open foil packet and cut fish in half. Transfer to plates; pour juices from packet over. Drizzle fish with remaining 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, dividing evenly, and top with more finely chopped dill.

CREAMY HERB GRILLED SALMON



Creamy Herb Grilled Salmon image

I have a huge herb garden and love using herbs in almost everything I cook. Living in the Pacific Northwest, we eat a lot of wild-caught salmon, so I use fresh herbs in this moist and delicious grilled recipe. On cooler days, bake it instead. -Michelle Glassmeyer Wunsch, Bothell, Washington

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon: Look for wild-caught, sustainably sourced salmon that is firm and has a vibrant color.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor to the salmon. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
  • Make sure the salmon is cooked through: Salmon is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • Serve immediately: Grilled salmon is best served immediately, while it is still hot and flaky.
  • Garnish with lemon wedges: Lemon wedges add a bright, citrusy flavor to the salmon. You can also garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or dill.

Conclusion:

This creamy herb grilled salmon recipe is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile fish. The salmon is grilled to perfection and then topped with a creamy herb sauce. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table. Here are some additional tips for making this recipe:
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the salmon in a grill pan over medium heat.
