If you answered yes, you've come to the right place! Or if you already have tomorrow tonight all figured out and won't be cooking and will be going out to eat or have something already marinating in the fridge, good for you! I'd suggest filing this under "romantic dinners for two," for an ordinary night, or special weekend treat.
Days like Valentine's Day or anniversaries or other special occasions can be stressful. You want the night to be perfect. You want to serve something memorable, something spectacular, something delicious. What would make it even better is if that something spectacular and something delicious didn't take all day to make or didn't have 134532 steps.
Well, that's what's so great about this salmon here. Two steps. TWO steps. (I'm not counting chopping the garlic, squeezing the lime, that's baby stuff folks). Grill or broil your salmon however you like. Blend all the ingredients for the butter sauce. And you're done.
DONE!
And it is pretty spectacular.

Serves: 4-6
2 fillets of salmon
1 large garlic clove, chopped
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
Salt and pepper salmon fillets. Grill or broil. While salmon is cooking, start butter sauce. Purée garlic with lime juice, salt, and pepper in a blender until smooth. With motor running, add melted butter and blend until emulsified, about 30 seconds.
Note: This butter can easily serve 4-6 people. I froze the rest.
Happy Valentine's Day!
This sounds amazing! I don't usually like fish that much but with a lime butter sauce it sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteWe eat salmon a lot, in fact, my husband would eat it every night if I'd make it. This is a new twist with the lime combined with the butter, and Heaven only knows, I'm always looking for a new and different way to make fish. This looks and sounds delish; will try it soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge fish fan, but I bet this is great with the lime@
