Cluck & Squeal Lemon Brown Butter Montreal Style Salmon

Prep: 5 min
Cook: 13 min
Serves: 2 (1 salmon fillet, about 1 lb)
Cook temp: 375°F / 190°C, then broil
Method: Oven or wood-fired oven

Ingredients

The Salmon

  • 1 salmon fillet (about 1 lb)
  • About 1 tbsp Cluck & Squeal Montreal Gold Seasoning & BBQ Rub

Lemon Brown Butter

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (we like Rolling Meadows grass-fed)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Directions

1. Make the Lemon Brown Butter

Brown the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. As soon as it browns, add the lemon juice to stop it from burning and remove it from the heat. Combine well and set aside.

2. Season the Salmon

Liberally coat the salmon fillet with Cluck & Squeal Montreal Gold Seasoning & BBQ Rub.

C&S Tip! Shake the jar well so you get both the finely ground seasoning and the coarse blend.

3. Bake & Broil

Bake the salmon at 375°F / 190°C for 7–9 minutes, then check doneness. Switch the oven to high broil for 2–4 minutes to finish.

Cook the centre to your liking. We recommend farmed salmon to an internal temperature of 125–135°F / 52–57°C, and wild salmon to 120–125°F / 49–52°C.

4. The Finish

Warm the lemon brown butter and drizzle it over the salmon. Devour!

Tips & variations

Wood-fired flavour. We cook ours in a wood-burning oven at 375°F for a slight hint of wood-fire aroma. No fire? No problem—your oven works great.

Not just for salmon. Montreal Gold complements almost any protein. Try this same method with trout.
