Serves 8
2 1/2 pounds salmon fillets
2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut in to pieces
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt, to taste
freshly ground pepper to taste
Light an outdoor grill or stove-top grill and spray with cooking spray. Brush the salmon with olive oil and salt and pepper. Grill the salmon (skin-side down) over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes. Turn over and with spatula or knife, remove skin from salmon and discard. Grill for 3-4 minutes more. Remove from grill, cover. Place the orange juice concentrate in a bowl and heat over a pan of simmering water. Remove from the heat and whisk in the zest, butter and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and pepper and pour over the grilled salmon to serve.
NOTE: The salmon should be pink and flaky with just a slight bit of pinkish red in the middle. After you remove it from the grill, either cover it with aluminum foil or an inverted plate. It will continue to cook from it’s own heat while you are preparing the Orange Butter Sauce. The result will be perfectly cooked salmon!
