Main Ingredients

Lemon Butter Sauce

Seasonal Vegetables

Method

Grilling Salmon

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Brush each fillet with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

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

  3. 3

    Grill the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Making Lemon Butter Sauce

  1. 4

    Melt the Butter

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

  2. 5

    Add Lemon Juice and Garlic

    Once the butter is melted, add the lemon juice and minced garlic (finely chopped). Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

  3. 6

    Finish with Parsley

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Set aside to keep warm.

Preparing Seasonal Vegetables

  1. 7

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash the asparagus, bell peppers, and zucchini. Cut the bell peppers into strips and slice the zucchini into rounds.

  2. 8

    Grill the Vegetables

    Place the prepared vegetables on the grill alongside the salmon. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have grill marks.
