Seasonal Vegetables

Lemon Butter Sauce

Method

Preparation of Salmon

  1. 1

    Marinate the Salmon

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the salmon fillets and coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s hot before placing the salmon on it.

Preparing the Vegetables

  1. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and trim the asparagus. Slice the bell peppers into strips and chop the zucchini into rounds. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  2. 4

    Grill the Vegetables

    Place the seasoned vegetables on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and slightly charred.

Cooking the Salmon

  1. 5

    Grill the Salmon

    Place the marinated salmon fillets on the grill skin-side down. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Making Lemon Butter Sauce

  1. 6

    Prepare the Lemon Butter Sauce

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add lemon zest and chopped parsley, stirring until combined. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Serve

    On each plate, place a grilled salmon fillet topped with lemon butter sauce. Arrange the grilled seasonal vegetables alongside the salmon and serve immediately.
