Method

Preparing the Salmon

1
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
2
Season the Salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Brush each fillet with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
3
Grill the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes, then carefully flip them over and grill for an additional 4-6 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Making the Lemon Butter Sauce

4
Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it is fully melted but not browned.
5
Add Flavorings
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
6
Mix in Lemon Juice and Zest
Stir in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest. Allow the sauce to simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
7
Finish with Parsley
Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Serving

8
Plating the Dish
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the grill and place it on a serving platter. Drizzle the lemon butter sauce generously over the top of the salmon.
9
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with additional chopped parsley and lemon wedges if desired. Serve immediately.
