  • Prep 10 min
  • Total 20 min
  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 pound salmon, trout or other medium-firm fish fillets
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Hazelnut Butter

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped hazelnuts
  • 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps

  • 1
    Brush grill rack with vegetable oil. Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Make Hazelnut Butter.
  • 2
    If fish fillets are large, cut into 4 serving pieces. Sprinkle both sides of fish with salt and pepper.
  • 3
    Cover and grill fish 4 to 6 inches from medium heat 4 minutes. Turn; spread about 1 tablespoon Hazelnut Butter over each fillet. Cover and grill 4 to 6 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily with fork.

  • Any type of nut -- almond, pecan, walnut or cashew -- can be substituted for the hazelnuts. Nuts can become rancid quickly, so it's best to store them in the freezer and to taste them before using in your recipes.
  • Method for Hazelnut Butter: Spread nuts in shallow microwavable bowl or pie plate. Microwave uncovered on High 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring once or twice, until light brown; cool. Mix hazelnuts and remaining ingredients.
