1
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C).
2
Prepare the Salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on a plate. Drizzle olive oil over the fillets and season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
3
Grill the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

4
Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
5
Add Garlic
Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
6
Finish the Sauce
Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped fresh parsley. Cook for an additional minute, then remove from heat.

7
Plate the Dish
Place the grilled salmon on a serving plate and drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the top before serving.
