We all know we should be eating more fish, but some folks are asking, how do you grill salmon? I am going to share with you today a really great and tasty way to grill salmon.
This is just a simple sauce and you can use either lemons or lime, but the flavor goes such a long, long way. If you have ever wondered how to grill salmon, give this one a try for sure. You will not be disappointed.
Ingredients:
¼ lb. Butter at room temperature (1 stick)
2 lemons (or limes) – the zest of the fruit
1 TB dill, chopped
½ TB thyme, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
Sea Salt and Black Pepper to taste
Olive oil
Directions
Take a small bowl and add the softened butter to it. Then add your lime or lemon zest, the dill and thyme, and the minced garlic. Mix it all up well.
Have your grill ready to go on medium heat. Season your room temperature salmon with some of that sea salt and black pepper and brush on a little olive oil.
Go ahead and put your salmon on the grill and grill it for about four minutes. Then rotate it our standard 90 degrees so that we can get those nice grill marks I am always talking about.
Sometimes if it does not release from the grill very easily you need to let it cook for just another minute or so.
After you have flipped over your salmon, let it cook on the other side for about another four minutes. As with most fish, salmon is no different, it will turn opaque when it is done. You can always use a fork to test it and when it flakes it is done.
But while it is still grilling on that second side this is when you want to start brushing on your lemon/herb mixture which you made. This will allow that herb butter mixture melt right into the fish. Talk about great! Your guests will absolutely love this salmon dish. I just wanted to share an amazing recipe for you…for those times when you might be asking yourself, how do you grill salmon?
