 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1 1/2  tablespoons   butter or margarine
    1 1/2  teaspoons     cornstarch
      1/2  cup           cold water
      1/3  cup           lemon juice
    1      tablespoon    fresh dill
      1/4  teaspoon      salt
      1/8  teaspoon      chervil
           dash          cayenne pepper
    3      slices        lemon, sliced thin & cut in quarters
    4      centercut     salmon steaks, 3/4″ - 1″ thick
    2      whole         lemons
                         dill sprigs
 
 
 For sauce:  Melt butter in small saucepan. Remove from heat.  Combine
 cornstarch with water; stir into butter in saucepan.  Add lemon juice,
 salt, chervil and cayenne pepper and stir to blend.
 
 Bring sauce to a boil, stirring constantly.  Cook until sauce thickens
 and turns clear.  Remove from heat and lemon quarters.  Cover and set
 aside.
 
 Cut off and discard the ends of the 2 whole lemons; cut each into 3/4"-
 1″ slices.  Put one slice into the opening of each salmon steak and
 secure with toothpicks.
 
 Grill 6-8″ above hot coals, using hickory chips if desired.  Grill for
 10-15 min., turning once, until fish flakes easily when tested with a
 fork.
 
 Garnish steaks with dill sprigs and spoon some of the hot lemon-dill
 sauce over each.  Serve remaining sauce separately.
