Provided by Natasha Kravchuk

Categories     Easy

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup unsalted butter ((8 Tbsp))
4 cloves garlic (smashed (NOT PRESSED))
2 Tbsp lime juice ((from 1 lime)plus lime wedges to serve)
2 Tbsp dill (chopped, plus more to garnish)
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 lbs salmon filet (skin-on, cut into 6 portions)

Steps:

  • In a sauce pan, melt 1/2 cup butter over medium heat. Smash 4 garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife and add to saucepan with 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Simmer 1 min or until fragrant. Add chopped dill and 2 Tbsp lime juice then immediately remove from heat.
  • Arrange salmon fillets on a platter skin-side-down and spoon on 1/3 of butter sauce and brush over the tops. Let salmon marinate while preheating grill.
  • Preheat grill to medium heat (350˚F to 400˚F). Oil the hot grates. Place salmon onto preheated grill, skin-side-up. Cover and grill over medium (350˚F) heat undisturbed, about 3 minutes on the first side.
  • Carefully flip salmon over (it helps to have a spatula to loosen it and tongs to flip it over), brush on 1/3 of butter sauce then cover and cook another 2 minutes (or according to salmon grilling chart), until internal temperature reaches 140˚F (the temperature will continue to rise to an ideal 145˚F internal temperature off the grill).
  • Transfer salmon to a platter and drizzle with remaining 1/3 of sauce in saucepan (if butter has hardened, heat on the stovetop just until melted). Garnish with fresh dill and serve with lime wedges to squeeze over salmon.

LIME-MARINATED GRILLED SALMON



Lime-Marinated Grilled Salmon image

The fresh lime juice and mustard add a nice tang to this moist and flaky grilled salmon. I came up with this marinade after tasting something similar at a friend's house and it is now one of our favorite ways to do fish. You may also use other firm fish steaks instead of salmon; halibut, tuna and swordfish all work well.

Categories     Fish     Quick & Easy     Lime     Salmon     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Gourmet

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 (6-oz) pieces center-cut salmon fillet (about 1 inch thick) with skin
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated fresh lime zest
6 tablespoons lime butter sauce

Steps:

  • Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas).
  • Season salmon all over with salt and pepper, then grill, flesh sides down, on lightly oiled grill rack (covered only if using gas grill) 4 minutes. Turn fillets over and grill (covered only if using gas grill) until just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes more. Sprinkle fillets with zest and top each with 1 tablespoon lime butter sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh salmon: Look for fillets that are firm to the touch and have a bright pink color. Avoid any fish that is slimy or has a fishy odor.
  • Cook the salmon to the proper internal temperature: The FDA recommends cooking salmon to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). This will ensure that the fish is safe to eat and will prevent it from becoming dry and overcooked.
  • Use a good quality key lime butter: The key lime butter is what really makes this dish special. Be sure to use a butter that is made with fresh key limes and has a bright, citrusy flavor.
  • Serve the salmon immediately: Grilled salmon is best served hot off the grill. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, grilled fruit, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

This grilled salmon with key lime butter is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the key lime butter adds a bright, citrusy flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table.
