List of Ingredients



• 1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions



1. Combine the butter, lemon juice and dill in a shallow dish. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, and arrange in the dish with the onions, coating both sides. Marinate 1/2 hour at room temperature or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator. (Butter will solidify.)
   
   
2. Prepare a barbecue fire and place the grilling rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat. Brush the hot grill with oil.
   
   
3. Place the salmon and onions on the grill, reserving the marinade. Grill the fish and onions, turning once and brushing with the marinade, 8 to 10 minutes or until fish just begins to flake.
   
   Transfer to a platter and garnish with lemon wedges.
