Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup water

2 (1 pound) salmon fillets
½ cup butter, cut into 8 pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Combine water and lemon juice in a bowl.
  • Arrange the 16 smaller pieces of butter in 2 rows on a baking dish and top with garlic slices. Place salmon fillets over each row of butter and garlic.
  • Melt remaining sliced butter in a bowl with minced garlic, about 40 seconds. Spoon about half the melted butter-garlic mixture over salmon and top with lemon slices. Pour about half the lemon juice mixture into the baking dish.

GRILLED SALMON WITH HERB AND MEYER LEMON COMPOUND BUTTER



Grilled Salmon with Herb and Meyer Lemon Compound Butter image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 stick butter, room temperature
2 Meyer lemons, zested
1/2 bunch dill, finely chopped
1/2 bunch thyme, picked and finely chopped (lemon thyme is even better)
1 small clove garlic, smashed and finely chopped
Kosher salt
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin-on
Extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the butter, zest, herbs and garlic. Mix until everything is well mixed. Season, to taste, with salt. If using right away, keep the butter at room temperature. If making ahead, reserve in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before using.
  • Preheat grill to medium.
  • Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature. Season with salt and coat with olive oil. Brush and oil the grill. Place the salmon, skin side down, on the clean, preheated grill. After 2 to 3 minutes, rotate the salmon 90 degrees to create cross-hatch grill marks on the salmon skin. Cook the salmon for another 3 to 4 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. If the salmon starts to burn, or the flames flare up move the fish to a cooler part of the grill.* 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.
  • What a delish fish!
  • *Tip: It is a general rule to cook fish for 8 minutes per inch of thickness. I like salmon cooked to about medium, so I cook mine for a little less.

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.

GRILLED SALMON WITH GARLIC & LEMON



Grilled Salmon with Garlic & Lemon image

Moist Fish recipe. If you wish, you may drizzle melted butter over the fish before serving. Garnish with the lemon wedges. You may want to squeeze more lemon before eating

Provided by Bergy

Categories     Canadian

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 salmon steaks
1/2 cup yogurt or 1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 tablespoons fresh lemon
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
salt and pepper
lemon wedge (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Mix the garlic,Lemon juice, sour cream and parsley.
  • Salt& pepper your salmon.
  • Place on a grill over an oven proof dish, so the salmon is getting heat underneath as well.
  • Put 1 1/2 tbs of the sauce mixture on the top side of the fish.
  • Place under broiler about 5-6" from the heat.
  • Broil for about 5 minutes, Sauce will begin to bubble.
  • Turn fish and put the remaining sauce on the steaks.
  • Broil until the fish flakes.
  • Do not overcook.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your garlic lemon butter sauce will be. Use fresh garlic and lemon, and unsalted butter.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the salmon, make sure to give it enough space in the pan so that it can cook evenly. Otherwise, the salmon will steam instead of grill.
  • Cook the salmon over medium heat: Medium heat will help the salmon to cook evenly without burning. If you cook the salmon over high heat, it will be more likely to burn on the outside and be undercooked on the inside.
  • Baste the salmon with the garlic lemon butter sauce: Basting the salmon with the garlic lemon butter sauce will help to keep it moist and flavorful. Baste the salmon every few minutes during cooking.
  • Let the salmon rest before serving: Once the salmon is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the salmon, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Garlic lemon butter sauce is a versatile sauce that can be used to enhance the flavor of a variety of dishes. It's especially delicious on grilled salmon. The sauce is easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. With just a little bit of effort, you can create a delicious and flavorful garlic lemon butter sauce that will make your grilled salmon taste amazing.
