1
Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. This will be used to marinate the salmon.
2
Marinate the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
4
Grill the Salmon
Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5
Prepare the Lemon Butter Sauce
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
6
Serve
Once the salmon is grilled, transfer it to a serving plate and drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the top. Serve immediately.
