Ingredients
Marination
  • Salmon Fish (2 fillet) 300 gm
  • 6 Tablespoons Orange Juice
  • ¼ Teaspoons Black Pepper
  • Red chili flakes
  • 4 Teaspoons Chopped Garlic
  • 4 Teaspoons Chopped Parsley [the_ad id="2092"]
  • Salt (as per taste)

Sauce
  • 2 Teaspoons Lemon juice
  • 1 Cube of Unsalted Butter
  • 2 Teaspoons Half &Half/Cream
  • 1 Teaspoon Finely Chopped Garlic
  • 1 Teaspoon Finely Chopped Onion
  • Salt (as per taste)
  • Pinch of Sugar

Grill
  • Olive Oil
Instructions
  1. Take a shallow bowl and marinate the Salmon fillet with all marinated items listed above for at least 1 hour in refrigerator. You can turn the fillets after 30mins.
  2. Once the margination is over, take one aluminum sheet and brush it with Olive oil. Then keep one fillet at the center of the aluminum sheet. Brush olive oil on top of the Salmon and add additional marination liquid (if there is any). Wrap the Salmon with the aluminum sheet (refer the photo above) and keep it aside.
  3. Repeat the same process to wrap the 2nd Salmon fillet. [the_ad id="2092"]
  4. Heat oven at 350F/180C temperature and bake the Salmon for 20-25 mins.
  5. While the Salmon is getting baked, heat a skillet/cooking pan in low flame, when the skillet is hot add lemon juice and whisk it. Cut a square piece of butter (I have used the regular unsalted butter) and mix it with lemon Juice slowly as the butter melts.
  6. Add salt, pinch of sugar, half and half/cream, chopped garlic & chopped onion and stir.
  7. Add rest of the butter and again slowly mix it as the butter melts. At the end you will have a thick, white, creamy sauce.
  8. The trick of making the sauce perfect is to use frozen butter right from the refrigerator and mix it well as it melts slowly.
  9. Filter the sauce to get rid of the onion and garlic.
  10. By now the Salmon should have also been baked for 20-25 mins.
  11. Serve the baked Salmon with the white buttery sauce and boiled asparagus.
Notes
Don’t bake the Salmon for more than 30mins, it will be otherwise hard.
We had taken off the skin of the Salmon, you can ask the person while buying the Salmon at the grocery store and they will take off the skin for you. This recipe is best serve without the skin.
