prep: moderate (you need 2 hours of refrigeration time)

fat & cal: average

Servings: 4

INGREDIENTS

1 (2-pound) salmon filet, skin removed

1 cup bread crumbs

6 cloves garlic, chopped fine

3 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped fine

3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped fine

3 tablespoons shallots, chopped fine

3 tablespoons chives, chopped fine

1/4 pound butter

1/2 cup olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

• Aluminum foil

DIRECTIONS

1. Place salmon filet on cutting board, carefully butterfly lengthwise, being sure not to cut completely through the flesh at the end. You want to be able to open it up into a thin double-width fillet.

2. In a large bowl, combine bread crumbs, garlic, basil, parsley, shallots, chives and olive oil - mix thoroughly.

3. Cut a piece of aluminum foil the length of the salmon filet, large enough to go around the salmon when it’s rolled. Lay salmon fillet flat on foil, season with salt and pepper, sprinkle bread crumb mixture evenly over the surface and place small pats of butter about 1-inch apart.

4. Roll salmon fillet with the foil, as you would a jelly roll; twist ends of the foil together. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

5. Cut the roll into 2-inch thick slices leaving the foil intact.

6. Grill salmon slices 5 minutes on each side. When fully cooked, remove foil and serve immediately.
