Grilled Salmon - Lemon Sauce Recipe

Prepare the Salmon

Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Marinate the Salmon

In a bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Brush this mixture onto the salmon fillets and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Grill the Salmon

Place the marinated salmon fillets on the grill. Grill for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Garnish

Once grilled, remove the salmon from the grill and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Melt the Butter

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

Add Lemon Juice and Zest

Once the butter is melted, add fresh lemon juice and lemon zest to the pan, stirring to combine.

Add Capers and Mustard

Stir in the capers and Dijon mustard, mixing well to combine all the flavors.

Season the Sauce

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Let it simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.

Serve

Drizzle the lemon sauce over the grilled salmon before serving.
