Flavour Buddy GRILLED SALMON with LEMON VERMOUTH BUTTER

  • 1 ½ tsp. salt
  • 1 ½ tsp. freshly ground pepper
  • 1 ½ tsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. ground chili peppers
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 - 8 oz. salmon fillets
  • 2 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp. lemon juice (bottled is fine)
  • 1 tsp. Lemon Zesto
  • 2 tbsp. dry vermouth

METHOD: Combine the salt, pepper, sugar, chili and garlic in a small bowl. Rinse and pat dry the fish. Evenly sprinkle, rub over fish and pat it in well. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.

Preheat grill on medium then adjust heat to medium-low. Combine the butter, lemon juice, Lemon Zesto and vermouth in a small bowl. Lightly oil the cooking grids and place the fish on the barbecue, skin side down. Drizzle with half the butter mixture, close the lid and grill about 5 minutes. Using a spatula, gently lift the fish off of the skin, which will stick slightly to the grids. Discard the skin using tongs, and flip the fish to the other side. Drizzle with the remaining Butter mixture and grill another 5 minutes, or until the fish flakes. Serve immediately.
