Grilled Salmon Fillets with Herb Butter

If you’re reluctant to grill fish at home, for fear the fillets will stick to the grate, fear not! This recipe offers a brilliant solution: lubricate the fillets with mayonnaise before putting them on the grill. You won’t taste the mayo, and the fillets won’t stick when you turn them over.
