Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons sweet butter
  • 2 tablespoons chives finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 pound salmon fillet

Equipment

  • alder wood chips
  • grill

Directions

  • Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the chives, thyme, garlic, onion, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
  • Spoon the herb-butter mixture on top of the salmon fillet, completely covering it. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • Heat a grill to medium-low heat. Add alder wood chunks just prior to placing the fish on the grill.
  • Cook until the meat is firm but still moist in the middle, to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
