A classic flavor combination, and after you make this, you’ll understand why.
YIELD: 4 very generous servings, each with only a trace of carbohydrates, a trace of fiber, and about 34 grams of protein.
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dry dill weed or 1 tablespoon snipped fresh dill
- 4 salmon steaks, each 1 inch thick
- Olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Put the butter, lemon juice, and dill in a food processor with the S blade in place. Pulse until well combined, scraping down the sides once or twice if necessary. (If you don’t have a food processor, you can simply beat these things together by hand.) Chill.
- About 15 minutes before dinner, rub each salmon steak on both sides with olive oil. Arrange the steaks on the broiler rack, and broil 8 inches from high heat for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily.
- Place on the serving plates, top each steak with a tablespoon of the lemon-dill butter, and serve.
