Costco Salmon Milano
Ingredients
- 4 boneless salmon
- 5 sprigs of fresh dill (separated)
- 1 tsp white wine
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp Italian spices
- 2 tsp white pepper
- 8-ounce salted butter (at room temperature, 25°C)
Instructions
- Get a large bowl, pour your salted butter, Italian spices, white wine, white pepper, sprigs of fresh dill. Add some garlic powder, then mix to form a compound butter (or Milanese butter).
- Mould the compound butter to mimic a ball shape.
- Scoop the compound butter into a plastic wrap. Then place it in your refrigerator and freeze for about four hours to two days.
- Preheat your oven to about 450°F.
- Spray your baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with a non-stick foil to ensure your salmon fillets don’t stick to the baking sheet.
- Place your salmon fillets on the foil. Sprinkle some white pepper and Italian spices on it.
- Carefully lay a sprig of fresh dill on each salmon piece.
- Transfer the frozen Milanese compound butter into a small bowl. Shape into golf-sized balls.
- Place these ball-shaped Milanese compound butter on top of the fresh dill on your salmon.
- Back to your oven, place the salmon Milano in it, and bake at 350°F for about ten minutes.
- Your salmon Milano is ready when it flakes slightly in the middle (you can test this by pressing the fish’s center with a knife)
