Grilled Garlic Butter Salmon Recipes

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.

GRILLED GARLIC BUTTER SALMON RECIPE

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 RECIPE WITH GARLIC LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• In a sauce pan, melt 1/2 cup butter over medium heat. Smash 4 garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife and add to saucepan with 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Simmer 1 min or until fragrant. Add chopped dill and 2 Tbsp lime juice then immediately remove from heat.
• Arrange salmon fillets on a platter skin-side-down and spoon on 1/3 of butter sauce and brush over the tops. Let salmon marinate while preheating grill.
• Preheat grill to medium heat (350˚F to 400˚F). Oil the hot grates. Place salmon onto preheated grill, skin-side-up. Cover and grill over medium (350˚F) heat undisturbed, about 3 minutes on the first side.
• Carefully flip salmon over (it helps to have a spatula to loosen it and tongs to flip it over), brush on 1/3 of butter sauce then cover and cook another 2 minutes (or according to salmon grilling chart), until internal temperature reaches 140˚F (the temperature will continue to rise to an ideal 145˚F internal temperature off the grill).
• Transfer salmon to a platter and drizzle with remaining 1/3 of sauce in saucepan (if butter has hardened, heat on the stovetop just until melted). Garnish with fresh dill and serve with lime wedges to squeeze over salmon.

GARLIC BUTTER SALMON

Steps:

• Prepare a grill fire to 325° with pecan or hickory for smoke flavor.
• Slice garlic into thin slices with a mandoline slicer or sharp knife.
• Add butter to a small skillet with the garlic slices.
• Place over low heat. As the butter melts, add in ground rosemary, thyme and pepper.
• Continue to cook, keeping a constant watch on the garlic, and stirring often until garlic is toasted and lightly browned. Do not burn the garlic.
• Remove from heat and set aside 5 minutes.
• Stir in brown sugar until dissolved.
• Place whole salmon fillet on a sheet pan, skin side down.
• Using a sharp knife, slice down the center of the salmon in the thickest part, but not all the way through. This creates a channel for the garlic butter.
• Pour garlic butter with toasted garlic chips over the salmon and spread evenly.
• Place salmon, skin side down on the grill over indirect fire with the grill lid closed.
• Grill for about 15 minutes, check with a digital thermometer in the thickest part of the salmon. Cook until salmon reaches 145°. The total cook time will be about 20- 25 minutes total depending on the thickness of your salmon.
• Remove from grill to a serving platter. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh herbs if desired.
• Serve immediately.

GRILLED SALMON IN FOIL WITH HERBY GARLIC BUTTER

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.

GARLIC-LEMON BUTTER FOR GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Soften one stick of butter and mix with garlic.
• Either process in blender or food processor; or if doing by hand use garlic press and whisk really well with fork.
• Gradually add as much lemon juice as butter will hold.
• Quit adding when butter won't absorb any more.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Slather this on grilled salmon during cooking and serve remainder at table.

GARLIC SALMON IN FOIL (BAKED OR GRILLED)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Or heat a grill to medium heat.
• Line a large baking dish with a large piece of aluminum foil.
• In a small saucepan, heat butter over medium-high heat until melted. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. (You want the garlic to be partly- but not fully-cooked.) Remove from heat and stir in the white wine and lemon juice.
• Using a pastry brush, brush a tablespoons of the butter mixture on the foil until it is evenly covered. Lay the salmon out on the foil. Then pour the remainder of the butter-garlic mixture on top of the salmon and brush it around until it evenly covers the salmon. Season the salmon evenly with a few generous pinches of salt and pepper.
• Fold the sides of the aluminum foil up and over the top of the salmon until it is completely enclosed. (If your sheet of foil is not large enough, just place a second sheet of foil on top and fold the edges so that it forms a sealed packet.
• TO COOK IN THE OVEN: Bake for 14-15 minutes, or until the salmon is almost completely cooked through. (Cooking times will vary on the thickness of your salmon, so I recommend checking it a few minutes early if you have a thinner cut of salmon.) Remove the salmon from the oven and carefully open and pull back the aluminum foil so that the top of the fish is completely exposed. (Be careful, lots of hot steam will be released!) Change the oven setting to broil, then return the fish to the oven and broil for 3-4 minutes, or until the top of the salmon and the garlic are slightly golden and the fish is cooked through. (Keep a close eye on the salmon while broiling, though, to be sure that the garlic does not burn.).
• TO COOK ON THE GRILL: Carefully transfer the packet of salmon to the grill, and grill for 12-14 minutes, or until the salmon is almost completely cooked through. (Cooking times will vary on the thickness of your salmon, so I recommend checking it a few minutes early if you have a thinner cut of salmon.) Carefully open and pull back the aluminum foil so that the top of the fish is completely exposed. (Be careful, lots of hot steam will be released!) Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes, or until the top of the salmon and the garlic are slightly golden and the fish is cooked through.
• Remove salmon from the oven or grill. Sprinkle the top of the salmon evenly with parsley and green onions, and serve immediately.
