  • Step 3

    Sprinkle fillets with zest and top each with 1 tablespoon lime butter sauce.

  • Lime Butter Sauce

  • Step 1

    Purée garlic with lime juice, salt, and pepper in a blender until smooth.

Tips & variations

  • If you aren't able to grill outdoors, salmon can be cooked in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned large (2-burner) ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.
