Prepare the Salmon

  1. 1

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Season Salmon

    Rub the salmon fillets with olive oil, then season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Grill the Salmon

    Grill Fillets

    Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes without moving them, until the skin is crispy.

  2. 4

    Carefully flip the salmon fillets using a spatula and grill for another 4-6 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Make the Lemon Butter Sauce

  1. 5

    Melt Butter

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

    Add Ingredients

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

    Finish Sauce

    Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped parsley. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Serve

    Drizzle Sauce

    Spoon the lemon butter sauce over the grilled salmon fillets.

    Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve immediately.
