Grilled Lemon Butter Salmon 

*

Me having to cook fish

*

What do you need 

1 Seafood grilling tray - Oven (oven safe pan like cast iron) 

*

 Got ya.. This tray is very useful for this dish

You can buy this from the home depot

*

1 basting brush

1 2 lb salmon filet 

1/4 tablespoon of ground black pepper 

1/4 tablespoon salt

1 Lemon

1 tablespoon of dry basil 

½ stick butter 

1 tablespoons of olive oil 

2 fresh garlic cloves

1 laundry pin for your nose  

 

 

And We Begin………

Fish.

1 Place the fish on a seafood grill tray *skin down* (I always put paper towels under the tray to stop and nasty from getting on my cutting board also treat the try with oil prior to placing fish)

* Can you smell that? cause I can :-(

2 Season lightly with salt and pepper (Make sure to cover the entire filet)

*

 Pic in place of salt, Cause lemons look better

*

3 Slice the lemon and place on top of the fish *you need to baste the filet with the butter mix before placing the lemon slices. see below..

*

 Look at it Karen Just look...

*

4 Hold Fast - Is your grill on? 

 

 

Basil butter. 

1 Mince two cloves and place in a small microwave safe bowl

2 Add 1 tablespoon of dry ground basil in bowl 

3 Add ½ stick of salted butter to the bowl

4 Microwave until melted and stir

*

Make it look like that or else it wont work

*

Cooking.

*

 The tray is seasoned with lost boys

*

1 Lightly brush the warm butter onto the flesh of the fish. (I do this right before I place this on the grill) Make sure to cover everything including the lemon.

*

 Some people like this I guess

*

2 Place the center burner on your grill to low, Front and back should be on Medium 

3 Set the seafood tray in the center of the grill

*

 Put it where I say

*

4 Close the grill allow to cook for 5 min

5 Baste the fish every 5 Min ( make sure you close the lid in between each basting)

*

 Sausage is for me 

*

6 I cook this for around 20 min however feel free to add or subtract time depending on your grill or your preference) - *I like to see browning on the sides of the filet before serving. 

7 Remove from heat and baste one last time. Allow the fish to rest for 5 min prior to serving. 

 *

It broke when I took it off cause I was holding my nose

*

 

Booo yahhh…. Now go enjoy your friends and family just keep it away from me!!

*

So Babe how does dinner smell behind the glass wall

*

Really though all of my friends and family ask me to make this nearly every weekend. They can't get enough - generally I am making on average 4lbs. FML…………
