Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 Salmon steaks
Parsley sprigs
Lemon wedges ---anchovy butter-----
6 Anchovy fillets
2 tablespoons Milk
6 tablespoons Butter
1 drop Tabasco sauce
Pepper

Directions

Pre-heat the grill to high heat. Oil the grill rack and place each steak to ensure an even heat. Place a small knob of Anchovy Butter (divide a quarter of the mixture in four) on each steak. Grill for 4 minutes.

Turn the steaks with a fish slice and place another quarter of the butter among the steaks. Grill on the second side 4 minutes. Reduce the heat and allow to cook for a further 3 minutes, less if the steaks are thin.

Serve with a neatly arranged pat of anchovy butter on top of each steak.

Garnish with parsley sprigs and lemon wedges.

Anchovy Butter: Soak all the anchovy fillets in milk. Mash in a bowl with a wooden spoon until creamy. Cream all ingredients together and chill.

Serves 4.
