Grilled Salmon with Herb Butter

Ingredients
4x175g Salmon Steaks
125g Butter
50g Butter (melted)
2 Tablespoons Fresh Mixed Herbs (like parsley, dill, chervil, fennel, chives, chopped)
1 Lemon
Salt and Pepper
Potatoes and Vegetables or Salad to Serve

Equipment
1 SHARP Knife
1 Chopping Board
1 Lemon Juicer
1 Mixing Bowl
Greaseproof Paper
1 Grill Pan
1 Pastry Brush

The Good Bit
  1. Mix the herbs and lemon juice in the mixing bowl along with the butter (not the melted butter) then lay on your greaseproof paper and roll into a log shape, wrap it then place in the fridge
  2. place the salmon on your grill pan and brush 1 side with the melted butter, season and cook for 4-5 minutes under a pre heated medium grill, turn the salmon over and repeat the brushing and seasoning, cook for another 4-5 minutes.
  3. Place a salmon fillet on each serving plate then divide the chilled butter between all four, serve with vegetables and potatoes or a salad.
