Main Ingredients
Lemon Butter Sauce
Method
Grilling the Salmon
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
Grill the Salmon
Place the seasoned salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Close the lid and grill for about 6-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Flip the salmon carefully and grill for an additional 4-6 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Making the Lemon Butter Sauce
Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Be careful not to let it brown.
Finish with Parsley
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serving
Plate the Dish
Once the salmon is grilled, transfer it to a serving platter. Drizzle the lemon butter sauce generously over the salmon fillets.
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
