1
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 200°C).
2
Prepare the Salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the fillets with olive oil and season generously with salt and black pepper.
3
Grill the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes, then gently flip the fillets and grill for an additional 4-6 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

4
Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
5
Add Garlic and Capers
Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the capers and lemon juice, stirring to combine.
6
Finish the Sauce
Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.

7
Plate the Salmon
Place the grilled salmon fillets on a serving plate.
8
Add the Sauce
Spoon the lemon caper sauce generously over the grilled salmon.
9
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve immediately.
