Method

Preparing the Salmon

  1. 1

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salmon

    Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the fillets with olive oil and season generously with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Grill the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 5-6 minutes or until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  4. 4

    Add Lemon Slices

    In the last minute of grilling, place a lemon slice on top of each fillet for added flavor.

Making the Lemon Butter Sauce

  1. 5

    Melt the Butter

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

  2. 6

    Add Garlic

    Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.

  3. 7

    Combine with Lemon Juice

    Stir in the fresh lemon juice, and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly.

  4. 8

    Finish with Parsley

    Remove the sauce from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Salmon

    Remove the grilled salmon fillets from the grill and place them on serving plates.

  2. 10

    Drizzle Sauce

    Spoon the lemon butter sauce generously over the salmon fillets.

  3. 11

    Garnish

    Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve immediately.
