Ingredients
For the Lemon-Dill Butter:
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
- zest of 1 lemon
For the Honey-Lemon Glaze
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove grated
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For the Salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
For the lemon-dill butter:
- In a small dish, add the butter, dill and lemon zest. Use a spatula to combine all of the ingredients well.
- Transfer the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper. Roll into a log and twist the ends shut. Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or until the butter is firm.
For the Honey Lemon Glaze:
- In a small dish, add the honey, lemon juice, grated garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
For the Salmon Fillets:
- Preheat the broiler for at least 5 minutes, and coat a baking sheet or broiler pan with non-stick spray.
- Place the salmon skin side down on the baking sheet, and using a pastry brush apply a coating of the glaze to each fillet. Transfer the baking sheet with the salmon to the oven and broil 6-8 minutes, or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork and is still a bit translucent when flaked. Do not overcook.
- To serve, transfer the salmon fillet to individual serving plates and place a thin slice of the lemon-dill butter on each serving. Garnish with microgreens or snipped dill.
