Fish Steaks with Cucumber Dill Butter


This recipe is so great for grilling fish in the summer.  Use one of those grids on top of your grill if you have one and keep the temp turned to medium. For swordfish, 10 mins/side is just about right. Other fish takes less time. I adapted this from one of the original Weber grill cooking manuals.  Enjoy!!

Fish Steaks Grilled with Cucumber Dill Butter

1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup chopped, seeded, pared cucumber
1 tsp. fresh (or dried) chive
2 Tb. chopped fresh dill (or 1/2 tsp dried dill weed)
salt
lime juice

Melt butter in a small pan or skillet. stir in cucumber, chives and dill weed, cook just until hot through, 3-5 minutes. season to taste with salt and lime juice.   Use on halibut, cod, salmon, red snapper, or swordfish.

Reserve half of marinade

To cook:  
Use half to marinate fish for 30-60 mins. Save other half for garnish.  
When ready to grill, remove fish from marinade, cook on medium for 10 mins/side for swordfish. Brush with used marinade while cooking.  

To serve:  
Arrange fish on platter. Top with reserved marinade, sprigs of fresh dill and some lime.Teri's Adaptation (Originally from the "Gas Cooking" Weber Cooking Manual)
