How to Make Sea Salt Cilantro And Lime Butter Topping For Grilled Salmon

In a medium bowl, beat 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter with a fork or electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, zest of 1 lime, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1 teaspoon sea salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture to a small, shallow dish or container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Once the butter is firm, remove from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly before serving.
As soon as your grilled salmon is removed from the grill, top with 1-2 tablespoons of the cilantro-lime butter. Serve immediately and enjoy!
