Grilled Salmon With Jalapeno Butter
"Spicy butter adds instant flavour to grilled salmon. This is a clipping from a decade old magazine.
**Edit June 24/07 - after reading some of the reviews I had to revisit this recipe and try it grilled and it IS so much better that way. Add a little bit of garlic powder and salt & pepper to it first then grill about 5 to 6 minutes per side (Depending on how thick it is) Thanks for the tips - this has made a good recipe great :)"

Absolutely wonderful recipe. I ended up baking mine in foil in a 350* oven due to high winds tonight and it turned out excellent. I also dusted the fish with a mixture of dried basil, oregano, garlic and thyme. This is keeper!! -
I grilled my salmon then topped it with the Jalapeno butter...really yummy. Try to use fresh garlic and fresh ginger...it really makes a difference. -
Another 5 star review!!! This is just the cats meow. I did cut the recipe in half and cut the butter in half again and still I have butter left over. I also decided not to use the food processor and just chopped all the ingredients and mix them together. Thanks for posting. We really enjoyed it. :) -
What an amazingly wonderful recipe. DH cooked the salmon on the hotplate on the barbeque, adding a little grapeseed oil to keep it moist. I was a little worried about the jalapeno butter, but it was awesome & worked perfectly with the salmon. Thanks so much Beautiful BC for sharing this recipe. Made for ZWT3. -
I had some frozen salmon kabobs that I thawed and grilled, adding the jalapeno butter at the end. I loved it and wished I had made more! Thanks!
