1
Prepare the Salmon
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2
Season the Salmon
Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon fillets. Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly on both sides of the salmon.
3
Marinate
Pour the lemon juice over the seasoned salmon and let them marinate for about 15 minutes.

4
Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it’s completely liquid.
5
Add Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
6
Finish the Sauce
Stir in the chopped parsley and lemon zest. Cook for an additional minute, then remove from heat.

7
Preheat the Grill
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
8
Grill the Salmon
Place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
9
Serve
Remove the salmon from the grill and drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the top before serving.
