Grilled Honey Lemon Salmon With Basil Recipes

GRILLED HONEY LEMON BUTTER SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Alternatively, preheat oven to 425F.
• Place salmon on a sheet of foil (with the longer side parallel with the longer side of the sheet pan) with the skin-side down. Raise the edges of the foil up about 2 inches (or enough so that when you pour the buttery mixture over the top it will be contained in the foil).
• Nestle lemon slices underneath the salmon, spaced evenly around the fillet; set aside.
• To a microwave-safe glass measuring cup or bowl, add the butter and heat on high power to melt, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the honey and lemon juice. Pour or spoon about three-quarters of the mixture over the salmon; reserve remainder.
• Evenly season salmon with salt and pepper.
• Seal up the foil. Likely you will need to add another sheet of foil on top in order to seal it. Crimp or pinch the top and bottom pieces of foil together; get it as air-tight as possible but it doesn't have to be perfect.
• If you have time, set aside to marinate for about 10 to 15 minutes (enhanced flavor).
• Place foil pack on the grill and cook for about 7 minutes, or until done.
• Optionally, if you want additional browning on the top of the salmon, set your oven to Hi broil.
• Open the foil pack or remove the top piece of foil so the salmon is exposed but keep the edges raised to contain the buttery mixture.
• Spoon the reserved buttery mixture over the salmon, if desired. Use your judgment and if there's already lots of juice you don't need to add it because you don't want it to start leaking. If you have extra buttery mixture, it's great served over the finished dish.
• Broil salmon for about 5 minutes, or until salmon is as golden as desired. Tip - You don't have to broil on the top rack, you can use the second rack, and while it will take longer, there's less chance of it burning. Keep a close eye on it because all broilers are different and you don't want the salmon to burn. Exact broiling time will depend on the size and thickness of the salmon, climate and oven variances, and personal preference.
• Optionally garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

LEMON BASIL GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Heat the grill to medium-high heat and brush grates clean with wire brush and brush grates with oil to prevent sticking.
• In a small bowl combine the Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt with 1 tbsp fresh basil, lemon zest, garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until combined and set aside.
• Brush the salmon filets with the vegetable and season to taste with salt and pepper. Place salmon, SKIN SIDE UP, on the hot grill for about 2 minutes, until salmon easily moves away from grill grates. Flip salmon and reduce heat to a medium-low and continue cooking about 3 to 5 minutes, until salmon is cooked and easily flakes.
• Top each hot piece of salmon filet with the lemon basil topping so it melts into the salmon.
• Meanwhile grill the corn alongside the salmon until the kernels are slightly charred. Carefully cut off the corn kernels and add to a medium bowl. Add in the tomatoes, remaining 1 tbsp of fresh basil and salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve the corn salad over the top of the hot salmon and enjoy!
