Basil-Buttered Salmon
- Makes: 4 servings
- Prep 15 mins
- Broil 8 mins
Ingredients
-
4
fresh or frozen skinless salmon, halibut, or sea bass fillets (about 1 1/4 pounds)
-
1/2
teaspoon
salt-free lemon-pepper seasoning
-
2
tablespoons
butter, softened
-
1
teaspoon
snipped fresh lemon basil, regular basil, or dill or 1/4 teaspoon dried basil or dill, crushed
-
1
teaspoon
snipped fresh parsley or cilantro
-
1/4
teaspoon
finely shredded lemon peel or lime peel
Directions
- Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with lemon-pepper seasoning.
- Place fish on the greased unheated rack of a broiler pan. Turn any thin portions under to make uniform thickness. Broil 4 inches from the heat for 5 minutes. Carefully turn fish over. Broil for 3 to 7 minutes more or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together butter, basil, parsley, and lemon peel. To serve, spoon 1 teaspoon of the butter mixture on top of each fish piece. Cover and refrigerate remaining butter mixture for another use. Makes 4 servings.
Variation
- Grilling Directions: Place fish on the greased rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 8 to 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, carefully turning once halfway through grilling.
