Grilled Citrus Salmon
- Yield 6 servings
This is delicious! If you don't want to grill, wrap fish in foil and bake in a 350F oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 dashes cayenne pepper
- 2 dashes salt
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 2 teaspoons capers
- 3 pounds fresh salmon fillets
Instructions
- In a small saute pan over medium heat, combine lemon juice, olive oil, butter, mustard, garlic, pepper, salt, basil, dill and capers. While stirring, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Place salmon fillets skin-side down on a piece of heavy-duty foil with edges folded up, to make a pan. Pour sauce evenly over fish.
- Place fish on grill and cover with a lid.
- Barbecue over medium-hot coals for 10 to 12 minutes, depending on thickness of fillets. Fish will be flaky and light pink in color when cooked.
NOTE: As an alternative, wrap fish in foil and bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
