Bob's Delicious Dill Butter
DILL BUTTER FOR GRILLED OR CEDAR PLANKED KING SALMON
Poached salmon is easy: hollandaise sauce, or even just melted butter, is all you need to make it magical. But when you grill, pan-fry in butter or, fashionably, cook your salmon on a cedar plank in a hot, covered barbecue, a different approach is required. I have tried a range of options, including a Korean compound butter made with hot bean paste and miso paste, and a chipotle butter made by mashing tinned chipotle chillies and adobo into softened butter. But my own favourite, and the one to which I have had the best response, is a fresh dill butter. And it's easy. Try this:
Flatten, peel and chop two large garlic cloves. Mash then, using the flat of a cook's knife, into a generous pinch of sea salt. Put this garlic paste into a small bowl and mash in 125g of unsalted butter which you have allowed to soften at room temperature. Add about a cup of finely chopped fresh dill, 1/2tbs lemon juice, 1tbs Dijon mustard and a few grinds of pepper. Mash thoroughly, and then scrape out onto a square of plastic wrap. Roll the butter mixture into a sausage, twisting the ends of the wrap, and chill in the freezer until it sets. Serve a couple of discs of this compound butter with each hot, grilled pan-fried or cedar planked, centre fillet of King salmon.
