Grilled Salmon with Lemon Dill Butter

This is another recipe from the weekend menu for the Creative Retreat.

Grilled Salmon with Lemon Dill Butter
serves 8

1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1 T fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 T fresh chopped dill
salt & pepper
8 six-ounce salmon steaks (you can also do fillets of salmon if you don’t want to buy steaks, just figure about 6-8 oz per person)

Heat grill to medium high.

Prepare butter: if you desire, you can melt the butter in the microwave for 5-10 seconds. Add lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper to butter and combine. Spread over salmon.

Lay out a large piece of aluminum foil and place the salmon on the foil. Fold the edge over to enclose the salmon. Grill in foil until desired doneness – this will depend entirely on the thickness of the salmon. I prefer my salmon medium, which takes about 5 minutes for a 1 1/2 inch piece of salmon.
