Grilled Garlic Butter Salmon Food

GRILLED SALMON RECIPE

Steps:

• Ensure the grates on the outdoor grill are very clean and preheat to medium.
• Season each of the salmon filets with salt then allow them to come to room temperature while the grill is preheating.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan and add garlic. Allow the garlic to cook in the butter for approximately 1 minute until the garlic softens just a bit. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in your choice of herb then allow the garlic herb butter to cool until you are finished grilling the salmon.
• Once the grill has preheated, blot any moisture from the surface of the salmon with paper towels. Brush the grates with oil, place the salmon flesh side down on the grill and close the lid of the grill. Allow the salmon to sear on the first side for approximately 2-3 minutes. Usually, the salmon will release itself from sticking to the grill when it is ready to be turned.
• Flip the salmon and cook on the remaining side until it is cooked to desired doneness-this will vary depending on the thickness of your salmon filets. Once the salmon flakes when pressed gently, it's done.
• Remove salmon from the grill and brush each filet generously with garlic herb butter. Season with a little coarse salt and fresh cracked pepper then serve with a few lemon wedges for squeezing.

Steps:

• Preheat Grill and spray a grill pan liberally with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! Original Spray.
• In a small bowl or mortar and pestle, combine the garlic, lemon juice, rosemary, salt and pepper. Use the pestle or the end of a small glass to crush the garlic and rosemary into the lemon juice, creating a paste.
• Spread the garlic paste over each piece of salmon, using it all. Allow to cool in the fridge for 20 minutes with the paste over the salmon.
• Remove salmon from the fridge and spray each piece of salmon 4 times with the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! Original Spray.
• Flip the salmon over so it's skin side up on the grill pan and spray the bottom of each piece with the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! Original Spray spray.
• Grill, covered, for 4-5 minutes, then flip each salmon filet. Spray again with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! Original Spray (about 2 sprays per filet) and cover again, cooking for an additional 6-8 minutes.
• Once salmon is fully cooked through (it will be flakey and have an internal temp of at least 145F), remove from the grill and serve.

GRILLED SALMON WITH HERB AND MEYER LEMON COMPOUND BUTTER

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.

• Preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Divide the salmon between 4 to 6 metal skewers (or wooden skewers soaked in water for 1 hour). Place the skewers on the pan and grill, turning to get grill marks on all four sides, until the salmon is cooked to the desired doneness, about 6 minutes for medium-rare salmon. Transfer to a plate and let rest a few minutes.
• For the pitas: Place the butter and garlic in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the butter is melted and the garlic becomes very fragrant, about 30 seconds.
