How to Make Grilled Salmon With Jalapeno Butter

  1. Prepare the jalapeño butter: In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, minced jalapeños, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
  2. Prepare the salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Adjust grilling time based on the thickness of your fillets.
  5. Top with jalapeño butter: During the last minute of grilling, spread the jalapeño butter evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
  6. Serve immediately. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired. Serve with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
