Grilled Salmon

Lemon Butter Sauce

Method

Grilled Salmon

  1. 1

    Prepare the grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C). Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

  2. 2

    Season the salmon

    In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Brush this mixture over the salmon fillets evenly on both sides.

  3. 3

    Grill the salmon

    Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.

Lemon Butter Sauce

  1. 4

    Melt the butter

    In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Be careful not to let it brown.

  2. 5

    Add garlic

    Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 6

    Finish the sauce

    Stir in the fresh lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional minute, then remove from heat.
