1
Prepare the Salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
2
Make the Lemon Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley, then remove from heat.

3
Preheat the Grill
Heat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400-450°F (200-230°C).
4
Grill the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets on the grill skin-side down. Grill for about 6-8 minutes. Flip and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5
Serve
Remove the salmon from the grill and drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the top before serving.
