Salmon with Honey Lime Butter

This is an excellent, very flavorful salmon recipe. The citrus butter combo is fantastic. I serve this with rice pilaf and a fresh seasonal vegetable. A light white wine like Riesling or Gewurztraminer is a good compliment to this entree.


4 large salmon steaks or 2 salmon filets (about 1 pound each)

1/4 cup canola oil

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup lemon juice

1/4 cup lime juice

2 green onions, thinly sliced

1 tbsp. dried parsley

1 tsp. crushed dried rosemary

1/4 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. pepper

Honey-Lime Butter (recipe below)

.

1. Palce salmon in a shallow dish. Combine remaining ingredients and mix well; pour over salmon. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Drain; discarding marinade.

2. Grill salmon over medium coals, skin side down, for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with Honey-Lime Butter. Yield: 4 servings.
