Salmon is a versatile, flavorful and healthful (lots of good fatty acids) fish that lends itself well to summer grilling. The tangy mustard butter in this recipe complements the slightly smoky grilled flavor very well. Making compound butter is super easy and a great way to dress up an otherwise simple dish. Be sure to chill it well so you can slice it evenly, and store any leftover compound butter in the freezer for the next time you grill fish or poultry. 
Grilled Salmon With Mustard Butter
Ingredients ~
4 oz (125 g) unsalted butter at room temperature
3 Tbs (45 ml) Dijon-style mustard
1 tsp (5 ml) dry mustard
2 Tbs (30 ml) chopped chives
2 Tbs (30 ml) chopped parsley
1 Tsp (5 ml) fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 - 6 salmon steaks or fillets, about 6 - 8 oz (175 - 225 g) each
2 Tbs (30 ml) olive oil
Preparation ~
Combine the butter, mustards, herbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Roll the mixture into a log about 4 inches (10 cm) long and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm.
Rub the salmon steaks with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill directly over hot coals, turning once, until the flesh is firm to the touch and opaque throughout.
Place a 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick slice of the butter on each portion. Serves 4 to 6.
Serving Notes ~
We served this dish with the Grilled Onion Salad, roasted new potatoes and a California Chardonnay.
