Crispy Grilled Salmon with Herbed Garlic Butter

~from Savoring Time in the Kitchen

Serves 2

2 center-cut salmon fillets, weighing about 6 to 8 ounces each

½ stick butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Lawry’s original seasoning salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash Original blend seasoning

Juice of one lemon

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring. Add remaining ingredients including lemon juice and remove from heat while grilling salmon.

Place a two-sided cast iron griddle over the grates of your grill so that the flat side is facing up and heat the grill to medium-high heat while keeping the lid closed.

Open lid and spray griddle lightly with non-stick cooking spray.  Place salmon on the griddle and close grill lid. Sear for 3-4 minutes and flip to the other side. Sear for another 3-4 minutes. Remove from the grill and place on a serving platter. Tent with foil for 3-4 minutes. Drizzle herbed garlic butter over salmon and sprinkle with parsley. If serving with pasta, reserve a little garlic herb butter to drizzle over pasta.
