How to Make Grilled Salmon With Pistachio Basil Butter
- Prepare the pistachio basil butter: Combine 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, 1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Pulse until smooth but still slightly chunky.
- Prepare the salmon: Pat 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- 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. Use tongs to carefully flip the salmon.
- Serve: Remove the salmon from the grill and immediately top each fillet with a generous spoonful of the pistachio basil butter. Serve immediately and enjoy!
