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 WITH A CITRUS-BALSAMIC GLAZE



Grilled Salmon With a Citrus-balsamic Glaze image

I love salmon! Can't wait to try this! (I just found this recipe among a million others that I had cut out of magazines a long time ago!) It says that the glaze can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. All you have to do is warm slightly before using, and can be served with many kinds of grilled or seared fish or meat. I went ahead and doubled the glaze part of the recipe because I like plenty of sauce on my salmon!

GRILLED CITRUS SALMON



Grilled Citrus Salmon image

Categories     Citrus     Ginger     Low Fat     Quick & Easy     Salmon     Spring     Cilantro     Gourmet

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup fresh orange juice
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup lime marmalade
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped peeled fresh gingerroot
six 6-ounce center-cut pieces salmon fillets with skin
1/2 cup fresh coriander sprigs, washed well, spun dry and chopped

Steps:

  • In a blender blend citrus juices and marmalade until combined well. Pour 1/2 cup juice mixture into a bowl and stir in sugar until sugar is dissolved. Reserve juice mixture in bowl.
  • Add onion and gingerroot to juice mixture in blender and purée until smooth. Transfer mixture to a shallow baking dish just large enough to hold salmon in one layer and stir in coriander. Arrange salmon, skin side up, in baking dish. Marinate salmon, covered and chilled, 1 hour.
  • Prepare grill.
  • Remove salmon from marinade and discard marinade. Pat salmon dry. Season salmon with salt and pepper and grill, skin side down, on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 4 minutes. Put lid on grill and grill salmon until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes more. (Alternatively, salmon may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan with a lid over moderate heat.) Carefully transfer salmon with a metal spatula to a platter and remove skin.
  • Pour reserved juice mixture over salmon and serve with grilled mango.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon fillet: Look for a fillet that is about 1 inch thick and has a vibrant orange-pink color. Avoid fillets that are thin, pale, or have any brown spots.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the salmon helps to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during cooking. The recipe in the article uses a marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic, and thyme. You can also experiment with other marinades, such as a soy-ginger marinade or a teriyaki marinade.
  • Grill the salmon over medium heat: This will help to prevent the salmon from overcooking and becoming dry. Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through but still slightly pink in the center.
  • Make sure the citrus sauce is well-balanced: The citrus sauce should be a good balance of sweet and sour. If the sauce is too sour, you can add a little bit of honey or agave nectar to sweeten it. If the sauce is too sweet, you can add a little bit of lemon juice or vinegar to tart it up.

Conclusion:

Grilled salmon with citrus sauce is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the citrus sauce is a perfect complement to the fish. This recipe is easy to follow and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this grilled salmon with citrus sauce a try.
