Grilled Dab With Garlic Butter Recipes

GRILLED CLAMS WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or Great Grates over medium heat.
• Scrub and rinse the clams. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a 1-quart saucepan over low heat until it is foamy. Add the garlic and saute, stirring, until it is fragrant but does not color, about 30 seconds. Add the white wine and heavy cream, increase the heat to medium-high and reduce by half, about 8 minutes. Add the remaining butter 1 piece at a time, whisking constantly, until the sauce is shiny, emulsified, and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the chives and season with salt and pepper. Keep the sauce warm until ready to serve.
• Set up the littleneck clams on the grill or Great Grates or place them directly on the grill. Cook the clams without turning them. As soon as the clams pop open, after 8 to 10 minutes, transfer them carefully with tongs to a platter (or plates) of rock salt. If you are using a Great Grate, this won't be necessary. Use the tongs to pry off the top shells. Spoon 1 teaspoon sauce over each clam and serve immediately.

GRILLED BREAD (GARLIC OR PLAIN!)

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (375 to 450 degrees).
• Brush each side of the bread lightly with olive oil. Place the slices on a baking sheet and sprinkle with 1 pinch of salt on top of each. Grill 1 to 2 minutes per side, until crispy and just starting to char on the edges.
• Remove from the heat. If desired, rub each slice with the cut side of the garlic and a bit of butter or additional olive oil (we rubbed on a small pat of butter between all the slices). Add another sprinkle of kosher salt if serving plain as garlic bread, and top with chopped herbs if desired.

GRILLED DAB WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high. Cut the frills away from the sides of the dabs using scissors. Lay the fish on a baking tray, dark skin up, drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with some sea salt. Place under a hot grill for 5 mins, until cooked through and the flesh comes away from the bone when prodded.
• Meanwhile, heat the butter in a frying pan until it starts to turn brown, then add the garlic and cook until it just starts to change colour. Remove the pan from the heat, add the lemon juice and parsley, stir together and set aside.
• Wilt the spinach in a hot pan with a splash of water, then divide between 2 plates. Place 2 dabs on top of the spinach on each plate, drizzle with the butter sauce and serve.

GRILLED LOBSTER TAILS WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Combine butter, minced garlic, hot sauce, and pepper in a bowl; mix until fully combined. Set aside.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Butterfly lobster tails by cutting lengthwise through the centers of the hard top shells and about halfway through the top of the meat with kitchen shears. With your fingers, press shell halves of the tails apart. Flip them over, and insert a skewer down the lobster tail so that the tail is easier to remove after cooking and doesn't curl up. Brush tails with olive oil and season with salt.
• Place lobster tails on the preheated grill with the cut shell sides down; grill until shells are bright in color, 5 to 8 minutes. Flip and spoon 1 tablespoon butter mixture onto the butterflied meat through the cut in the shell. Grill until lobster meat is an opaque white color, 4 to 7 more minutes, basting once more with butter mixture.
• Remove lobster tails from the grill and serve with more garlic butter and lemon wedges.

GRILLED GARLIC BREAD WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Finely mince garlic; season with salt. Place the flat side of a knife blade on top of garlic and press down firmly to mash into a paste. In a small bowl, combine garlic paste, butter, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill cut sides of bread, rotating once to make hatch marks, until lightly charred and toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Brush grilled sides with herb butter; serve immediately.

MY MOST COVETED SECRET: HERB-GARLIC BUTTER HAMBURGERS ON A GRILL

Steps:

• Place all the herbs, garlic, pepper, and butter in a small mixing bowl and beat with a wooden spoon until slightly fluffy.
• (you can do the mixing with a or food processor) Place a 12" square piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper on your work surface and mound the flavored butter in the center.
• Roll herb butter into cylinder shape within plastic, twisting the ends to compress the butter.
• Chill the butter in the refrigerator or freeze until firm.
• Butter will keep for up to 5 days in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer.
• Burger Preparation: Make hamburger patties as usual, but for each one place your thumb in the middle and press an indentation almost through (but not quite) to the other side of the meat.
• Unwrap formed butter and cut crosswise into 1/4-1/2" discs. (You will be using approximately 4 tablespoons Herb-Garlic Butter per 1 1/2 pound of ground meat).
• Form hamburger patty fully around one butter disc, pressing gently to seal the disc into the dead center of the meat.
• (not too much pressing! It will make your burgers dense and tough) Place burgers on hot grill (preheated to high if using a gas grill).
• Grill burgers until cooked to doneness, (about 5 to 7 minutes per side for medium-done).
• Place burgers on a serving plate, add cheese, if desired, but do not serve for about 5 minutes, to allow flavors to fully meld.
• Brush buns with melted butter and toast on the grill for a few seconds.
• Serve with any toppings of your choice.
