Grilled lemons add a smoky tartness to a butter sauce made to enjoy with grilled salmon. A touch of dill adds a fresh, clean finish.
Ingredients:
2 medium lemons
4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
lemon-dill sauce:
1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup lemon juice
4 teaspoons butter
3 lemon slices, quartered
1 tablespoon snipped fresh dill
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon dried chervil
dash cayenne pepper
Directions:
1. Trim both ends from each lemon; cut lemons into thick slices. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Grill salmon and lemon slices, covered, over high heat or broil 3-4 in. from the heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and lemons are lightly browned.
2. For sauce, in a small saucepan, combine the cornstarch, water and lemon juice; add butter. Cook and stir over over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Remove from the heat; stir in quartered lemon slices and seasonings. Serve with salmon and grilled lemon slices. Yield: 4 servings (3/4 cup sauce).
