Method

Preparing the Salmon

  1. 1

    Season the Salmon

    Rub the salmon fillets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper on both sides. Let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-200°C).

Cooking the Salmon

  1. 3

    Grill the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets on the grill skin-side down. Grill for about 6-8 minutes, then flip and grill for another 4-5 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Preparing the Vegetables

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the salmon is grilling, wash and trim the asparagus, slice the bell peppers into strips, and cut the zucchini into rounds.

  2. 5

    Grill the Vegetables

    Place the vegetables on the grill alongside the salmon. Grill for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred, turning occasionally.

Making the Lemon Butter Sauce

  1. 6

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 7

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley. Cook for another minute, then remove from heat.

Serving the Dish

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Place each grilled salmon fillet on a plate, arrange the grilled vegetables alongside, and drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the top.

  2. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with extra parsley if desired and serve immediately.
