Grilled Salmon with Almond Butter

Serves 2

This quick and easy seafood recipe is written for outdoor grills but if it's raining or snowing or just plain too cold or too hot do it inside.

Almond Butter (see below)
1 lb. salmon, halibut or any other medium-firm fish filets
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Brush grill rack with vegetable oil. Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat.

If fish fillets are large, cut into 4 serving pieces. Sprinkle both sides of fish with salt and pepper.

Close cover and grill fish 4 to 6 inches for about 4 minutes. While they're cooking make the almond butter.

Flip them and spread about 1 Tbsp. of the almond butter over each filet. Close cover again and grill 4 to 6 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with fork.

If you do this one indoors just use your broiler pan placed on the middle level of your oven and follow the above directions.

ALMOND BUTTER:
2 Tbsp blanched almonds
3 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp parsley
1 tsp lemon juice

Finely chop almonds, stick them under the broiler for about 60 to 90 seconds, mix with butter, parsley and lemon juice - and that's almond butter! Easy, huh?
