Lemony Salmon Fillets with Dill Sauce by Big Ray

Ingredients

• 2 lemons, ends trimmed and sliced thickly
• 4 (6 ounce) fillets salmon
• ½ cup water
• 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
• 4 teaspoons butter
• 3 lemon slices, cut into quarters
• 1 tablespoon snipped fresh dill
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 dash cayenne pepper

Step 1

Warm up your grill to high and giving the grates a quick brush with oil so the salmon doesn’t stick. Place the salmon fillets and thick lemon slices on the hot grill. Let them cook for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side, until the salmon flakes easily when you poke it with a fork.

Step 2

While the salmon is grilling, mix together the water, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a small saucepan until the cornstarch dissolves. Add the butter and set the pan over medium heat. Stir the sauce constantly as it comes to a boil and thickens, which should take around 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 3

Once the sauce has thickened, take it off the heat and gently fold in the quartered lemon slices, fresh dill, salt, chervil, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Serve this bright, flavorful sauce alongside your grilled salmon and lemon slices for a delicious, fresh meal.
