SALMON IN HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Melt the butter and squeeze in lemon juice and add crushed garlic, cilantro and green onions and mix well.

Seal the salmon in foil. Place on the barbecue grill and cook for 10 to 12 minutes per side. Any longer will dry out the salmon. Cut in portions and serve immediately.
