GRILLED SALMON WITH CITRUS BUTTER

Provided by Patrick and Gina Neely : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Oil, for greasing grill
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 teaspoons lemon zest
2 teaspoons lime zest
Four 6-ounce fillets center-cut salmon, skin removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add the softened butter to a mixing bowl and stir until smooth. Add the lemon and lime zest and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Blend all the ingredients until smooth and completely mixed.
  • Place a sheet of plastic wrap out on your workspace. Spread the butter across the plastic wrap and roll into a log, twisting the ends to seal. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill. This will give you a nice clean round of butter to top the fish with. Alternatively, you can leave the butter in a small bowl and dollop the butter on top of the fish once it's grilled.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  • Sprinkle the salmon on both sides with salt and pepper. Oil the grill grates with a clean tea towel. Grill the salmon for 4 minutes, and then flip and cook the second side for another 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Top each fillet with a slice of the citrus butter while the fish is still hot so it melts right over the top.

GRILLED SALMON IN FOIL WITH HERBY GARLIC BUTTER



Grilled Salmon in Foil With Herby Garlic Butter image

This easy grilled salmon in foil recipe is totally foolproof, resulting in flaky fish with a garlic-herb butter sauce. And did we mention cleanup is a breeze?

Provided by Rachel Gurjar

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon: Look for wild-caught, sustainably-sourced salmon fillets that are about 1 inch thick and have a vibrant color.
  • Brine the salmon: Brining the salmon in a mixture of salt, sugar, and water helps to keep it moist and flavorful during grilling.
  • Make the pecan butter: The pecan butter is a delicious and easy-to-make sauce that complements the grilled salmon perfectly. Be sure to use unsalted butter and finely chop the pecans.
  • Grill the salmon: Grill the salmon fillets over medium heat, skin-side down, for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Avoid overcooking the salmon, as it will become dry and tough.
  • Serve immediately: Serve the grilled salmon with the pecan butter and your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or quinoa.

Conclusion:

This grilled salmon with pecan butter is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the pecan butter adds a rich and nutty flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
