Grilled Salmon with Lime Butter

    1 large garlic clove, chopped
    1/4 cup fresh lime juice
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
    6 (6-oz) pieces center-cut salmon fillet (about 1 inch thick)
      with skin
    1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated fresh lime zest

Puree garlic with lime juice, salt, and pepper in a blender until
smooth. With motor running, add melted butter and blend until
emulsified, about 30 seconds. Set aside.

Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat
for gas). Season salmon all over with salt and pepper, then grill,
flesh sides down, on lightly oiled grill rack (covered only if using
gas grill) 4 minutes. Turn fillets over and grill (covered only if
using gas grill) until just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes more.
Sprinkle fillets with lime zest and top each with 1 tablespoon lime
butter.
