Prepare Herb Butter Mixture:
In a bowl, combine the butter, margarine, fresh tarragon, dried tarragon, fresh chives, fresh parsley, and Dijon mustard. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated. -
Preheat the Grill:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for a temperature between 350-400°F (175-200°C). Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. -
Prepare the Salmon Steaks:
Pat dry the salmon steaks using paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps in achieving a crispy exterior when grilling. -
Brush with Herb Butter:
Brush each salmon steak generously with half of the prepared herb butter mixture, ensuring an even coating on both sides. -
Grill the Salmon:
Place the salmon steaks on the preheated grill, ensuring they are arranged in a single layer. Grill the steaks uncovered for approximately 8 minutes on each side or until the fish easily flakes with a fork. While grilling, brush the salmon steaks often with the remaining herb butter mixture to infuse them with flavor and prevent them from drying out. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once the salmon steaks are cooked to perfection, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot and savor the delightful flavors of the herb-infused butter melding with the succulent salmon. Pair with your favorite sides or enjoy as is for a wholesome meal experience.
Notes:
- For a bolder flavor, consider marinating the salmon steaks in the herb butter mixture for 30 minutes to 1 hour before grilling.
- This recipe can also be prepared using an oven broiler. Simply place the prepared salmon steaks on a broiler pan and broil for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
Dietary Considerations:
- This recipe is low in carbohydrates and sugar, making it suitable for those following a low-carb or ketogenic diet.
- To reduce the saturated fat content, you can opt for a lower-fat margarine or substitute olive oil for a portion of the butter.
Enjoy your culinary adventure with Salmon Steaks With Herb Butter, a delightful dish that promises to impress with its simplicity and exquisite flavors!
