Grilled Salmon With Pistachio Basil Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Lightly brush the grates with vegetable oil. Toss the tomatoes, cucumber, onion, ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl.
• Rub the top and sides of the salmon with the garam masala; season generously with salt and pepper. Brush both sides of the bread and the cut sides of the lemons with the vegetable oil. Grill the salmon until charred but still slightly pink in the center, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Grill the lemons until juicy and well charred, about 2 minutes per side. Grill the bread until toasted, about 1 minute per side.
• Squeeze 2 grilled lemon halves into the tomato-cucumber salad, add the avocado and toss. Divide among plates. Add a piece of salmon and a grilled lemon half to each plate. Cut the bread into wedges and serve with the salmon.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine pistachios, panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and butter in a small bowl; stir with a fork until evenly combined.
• Lightly season salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear salmon fillets, flesh-side down, for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn heat off and flip salmon pieces over so skin side is down. Brush tops of salmon evenly with Dijon mustard. Top with pistachio mixture, pressing mixture down onto salmon.
• Bake in the preheated oven until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• In food processor, combine butter, pistachios, garlic, basil and lime juice.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Refrigerate.
• Preheat oven to 400.
• Place salmon in buttered baking dish and cover with wine.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Bake till opaque--about 10 minutes Place 2-3 tablespoons of butter mixture on each piece of salmon.
• Continue baking until done in center-about 5 more minutes or more (depending on thickness of your salmon).
• Garnish with additional basil leaves.
• Serve with rice or angel hair pasta.

Steps:

• Add the softened butter to a mixing bowl and stir until smooth. Add the lemon and lime zest and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Blend all the ingredients until smooth and completely mixed.
• Place a sheet of plastic wrap out on your workspace. Spread the butter across the plastic wrap and roll into a log, twisting the ends to seal. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill. This will give you a nice clean round of butter to top the fish with. Alternatively, you can leave the butter in a small bowl and dollop the butter on top of the fish once it's grilled.
• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
• Sprinkle the salmon on both sides with salt and pepper. Oil the grill grates with a clean tea towel. Grill the salmon for 4 minutes, and then flip and cook the second side for another 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Top each fillet with a slice of the citrus butter while the fish is still hot so it melts right over the top.

Steps:

• PISTACHIO-BASIL BUTTER:.
• Combine basil, pistachio nuts, lime juice, garlic, butter, salt, and pepper in a food processor.
• Blend till basil and pistachios are finely chopped, stopping to stir as necessary.
• Transfer to a container; cover and keep cool till ready to use; if you refrigerate it, make sure it is at room temperature when you start to cook the salmon.
• SALMON:.
• Rinse the fillets and pat dry.
• Brush both sides of the fish with oil.
• Season with additional salt and pepper.
• Grill uncovered directly over the coals for 4-6 minutes per 1/2" thickness, turning once.
• Serve immediately with the butter.

Steps:

• Process pistachios, 10 basil leaves and garlic cloves in processor until finely chopped. Add 1/2 cup butter and 1 teaspoon lime juice and process until incorporated into mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer butter mixture to small bowl. Refrigerate until well chilled. (Pistachio butter can be prepared up to 4 days ahead.)
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter 9x13-inch baking dish. Place salmon fillets in dish in single layer. Pour white wine over. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Bake salmon until almost opaque on top, about 10 minutes. Place 2 tablespoons pistachio butter atop each salmon piece. Continue baking until salmon fillets are just opaque in center, about 5 minutes. Transfer salmon to plates. Garnish with basil if desired and serve immediately.
