Salmon Fillet

Lemon Butter Sauce

Method

Preparing the Salmon Fillet

  1. 1

    Preheat the Grill

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salmon

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

  3. 3

    Grill the Salmon

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

  4. 4

    Add Lemon Juice

    In the last few minutes of grilling, drizzle the lemon juice over the salmon fillets.

Making the Lemon Butter Sauce

  1. 5

    Melt the Butter

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

  2. 6

    Add Garlic

    Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  3. 7

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in the chopped parsley and lemon zest. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
