1
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375-400°F (190-200°C).
2
Season the Salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

3
Grill the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on one side.
4
Flip and Finish Grilling
Carefully flip the fillets using a spatula and grill for another 4-6 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

5
Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
6
Add Garlic
Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
7
Add Lemon Juice and Zest
Stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest, cooking for an additional minute.
8
Finish with Parsley
Remove from heat and stir in the fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

9
Plate the Salmon
Transfer the grilled salmon fillets to a serving plate.
10
Drizzle Sauce
Generously drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the salmon before serving.
