2. In a blender or food processor, combine gingerroot, garlic, and jalapeno. Process till finely chopped.
3. Add cilantro and process till combined.
4. Stir this mixture into softened butter.

7. Salt and pepper salmon.
8. Place in a well-greased grill basket or on a well-greased grill rack directly over medium coals.

10. If the fish is thicker than 1 , turn it halfway through cooking.
11. When done, the fish should flake easily when tested with a fork.
