Grilled Salmon With Mustard Butter

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.
