Grilled Salmon with Habanero-Lime Butter
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 3 Tbsp lime juice
- 1 Tbsp tequila
- 1 Tbsp grated lime zest
- 1 Tbsp minced habanero pepper
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 4 (5-oz) salmon steaks
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 tsp garlic salt
- 1 Tbsp lime juice
- 2 tsp minced habanero pepper
- 2 tsp grated lime zest
Directions
In a bowl, stir together the first seven ingredients. Reserve a small amount to use as a basting sauce, and pour the remainder into a shallow baking dish. Place the salmon in the shallow dish, and turn to coat. Cover, and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours, turning frequently. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining five ingredients. Cover, and refrigerate.
Preheat grill for medium heat. Lightly oil grill grate, and place salmon on the grill. Cook salmon for 5 to 8 minutes per side, or until the fish can be easily flaked with a fork. Transfer to a serving dish, top with habanero butter, and serve.
