Ingredients
- 2 filets Salmon
Compound Butter
- 3 Tbsp Unsalted Butter Softened in Microwave for 10-15 seconds
- 1/2 tbsp Italian Seasoning
- 1 tbsp fresh Lemon Juice half a lemon
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Diamond Crystal Kosher salt
- 1/8 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Make Compound Butter
- Take 3 tbsp of unsalted butter and soften in microwave for 10-15 seconds.
- Take the rest of the ingredients and combine them with the softened butter to make your compound butter.1/2 tbsp Italian Seasoning, 1 tbsp fresh Lemon Juice, 1/2 tsp lemon zest, 3 cloves garlic, 1/2 tbsp dijon mustard, 1 tsp Diamond Crystal Kosher salt, 1/8 tsp Black pepper
Prep Salmon and Apply Compound Butter
- Take salmon and pat dry with paper towel.
- Apply some olive oil to the skin side.
- With a basting brush, liberally apply compound butter to the flesh side of the salmon.
- Take lemon and slice 1-3 slices. Place these slices on top of the fish.
Get Grill Ready and Cook Fish Indirect
- Get your grill to roughly 225F. If using a charcoal grill, setup a 2 zone fire.
- Place fish on the grill, skin side down.
- Allow fish to cook until your desired doneness - I prefer 135F.
- Once it reaches 135F, enjoy!
Notes
Cooking times heavily depend on how big your fish is.
If you're using a probe thermometer or instant read thermometer, probe from the side, not from the top.
Probing from the top will cause albumin to leak and ruin your presentation side.
