Grilled Salmon

It's summer time, well almost!  Today we finally shook off the grip of winter and the temperature rose to almost 90º.  We have been waiting a long time for warmer weather.  As the weather gets warmer, I like to take my cooking out to the deck and grill.  I love grilling and gilled food.  This is probably why my family calls me the "Grill Master".  Try this easy grilled salmon recipe.

Ingredients

5 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons key lime juice

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets

Cooked pasta or rice

Directions

Prepare grill by lightly oiling grill grate over medium-high heat.

In a small saucepan, melt butter and add lime juice.  Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.  Place fillets onto grill, brush half of lime butter over salmon. Grill salmon for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare.  Drizzle remaining lime butter over salmon before serving.  I like to serve grilled salmon with grilled asparagus (easy toss in olive oil and season with salt and pepper), and a rice or pasta side dish.
