Grilled Salmon With Jalapeno Butter
By: Beautiful BC
Jun 15, 2007
Spicy butter adds instant flavour to grilled salmon. This is a clipping from a decade old magazine.
**Edit June 24/07 - after reading some of the reviews I had to revisit this recipe and try it grilled and it IS so much better that way. Add a little bit of garlic powder and salt & pepper to it first then grill about 5 to 6 minutes per side (Depending on how thick it is) Thanks for the tips - this has made a good recipe great 
SERVES 4
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon gingerroot, minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 2 large jalapeno peppers, halved & seeded
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, loosely packed
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/2 lbs fresh salmon fillets
Directions
1
For Jalapeño Butter:.2
Combine ginger, garlic and jalapeño peppers in a blender or food processor. Process until finely chopped. Add cilantro and process until combined. Stir in butter.3
On a piece of plastic wrap, shape butter into a 6 inch long log. Seal and chill until serving time.4
Sprinkle salmon with salt & pepper. Wrap salmon in foil and place on grill. Grill for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping package over half way. Fish is done when it flakes easily when tested with a fork.5
To serve, place a 3/4 inch slice of jalapeño butter on top of each serving of salmon.6
Seal remaining butter and freeze up to 3 months.

I grilled my salmon then topped it with the Jalapeno butter...really yummy. Try to use fresh garlic and fresh ginger...it really makes a difference.

Another 5 star review!!! This is just the cats meow. I did cut the recipe in half and cut the butter in half again and still I have butter left over. I also decided not to use the food processor and just chopped all the ingredients and mix them together. Thanks for posting. We really enjoyed it.

The butter is delicious, and went very well with the salmon. There was extra butter and I froze it to use again in the future. The only thing I will do differently next time is to grill the salmon directly rather than wrap in foil. It steams or bakes in the foil, and I would like to see it with some grill marks and taste some smoky flavor. Thanks for posting a great recipe.

What an amazingly wonderful recipe. DH cooked the salmon on the hotplate on the barbeque, adding a little grapeseed oil to keep it moist. I was a little worried about the jalapeno butter, but it was awesome & worked perfectly with the salmon. Thanks so much Beautiful BC for sharing this recipe. Made for ZWT3.
