Grilled Salmon With Basil Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Place salmon, skin side down, on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 18x12 in.). Combine the garlic powder, lemon pepper, curry and salt; sprinkle over salmon. Top with onion and tomatoes. Fold foil over fish and seal tightly., Grill, covered, over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.

Steps:

• Soak your cedar plank in water for 20 minutes, flipping over halfway through soak time.
• While the plank is soaking, mix together butter, basil and minced garlic cloves, spread on salmon.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat your grill to low, or the right setting for your grill for fish.
• Take your cedar plank out of the water and place the salmon on top of the plank. Place it on the grill and cook for 20-40 minutes depending on how thick your salmon is.Grill with the lid closed.
• During the cooking time, if the plank catches on fire, spray it with water.
• Salmon is done cooking, when it flakes easily with a fork.
• *Note: Whenever I make this it normally takes around 30-45 minutes to cook on the grill. I constantly check it to make sure the plank doesn't burn & the salmon doesn't over cook.
• Make sure you have water on hand to spray the cedar plank with, so it doesn't catch on fire.

Steps:

• PISTACHIO-BASIL BUTTER:.
• Combine basil, pistachio nuts, lime juice, garlic, butter, salt, and pepper in a food processor.
• Blend till basil and pistachios are finely chopped, stopping to stir as necessary.
• Transfer to a container; cover and keep cool till ready to use; if you refrigerate it, make sure it is at room temperature when you start to cook the salmon.
• SALMON:.
• Rinse the fillets and pat dry.
• Brush both sides of the fish with oil.
• Season with additional salt and pepper.
• Grill uncovered directly over the coals for 4-6 minutes per 1/2" thickness, turning once.
• Serve immediately with the butter.
