How to Make Grilled Salmon With Chipotle Herb Butter

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter, 2 tablespoons chopped chives, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped chervil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely minced), and 1 tablespoon adobo sauce.
  2. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat until the mixture is light and fluffy and well incorporated.
  4. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Shape the butter into a log, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm (at least 30 minutes).
  6. Season salmon fillets (about 1 pound) generously with salt and pepper.
  7. Preheat your grill to high heat. For gas grills, preheat for 10-15 minutes.
  8. Place salmon fillets skin-side up on a preheated grill grate.
  9. Close the lid of the gas grill (or cover the grill if using charcoal).
  10. Grill for 7-10 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  11. Top each cooked salmon fillet with a 1/8-inch thick slice of the chipotle herb butter.
