Scottish Salmon With Herb Butter
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/2 lemon rind, finely grated
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- butter, for greasing
- 4 salmon steaks
- 2 lemons, sliced and halved
- 4 fresh dill sprigs
- salt
- ground black pepper
- 16 new potatoes, boiled for serving alongside
- green salad
- In a small bowl, add butter, lemon rind and juice, chopped dill and seasoning and stir together with a fork until well blended. Place this herb butter on a piece of greaseproof paper and roll up, smoothing into a sausage shape. Twist the ends tightly; wrap in clear film and place in freezer for 20 minutes until firm.
- Preheat oven to 190u0b0C/375u0b0F/Gas 5. Prepare four squares of foil large enough to wrap salmon steaks in by greasing lightly. Place a salmon steak in the center of each one.
- Remove herb butter from freezer and allow to sit for a few minutes. With a sharp knife, slice butter into 8 rounds. Top each salmon steak with 2 rounds. Top the butter with a halved lemon slice and a sprig of dill.
- Lift up foil and crinkle edges together to seal. Place these packets on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven, open packets and slide the contents on to warmed plates along with the juices.
- Serve hot, with new potatoes and a crisp green salad.
