Salmon

Lemon Butter Sauce

Seasonal Vegetables

Method

Preparation of Salmon

  1. 1

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

  2. 2

    Season the Salmon

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

Cooking Salmon

  1. 3

    Grill the Salmon

    Place the 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 and has nice grill marks.

Lemon Butter Sauce

  1. 4

    Melt Butter

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

  2. 5

    Add Garlic and Lemon Juice

    Add minced garlic cloves to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, stir in the fresh lemon juice and remove from heat.

  3. 6

    Finish Sauce

    Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cooking Seasonal Vegetables

  1. 7

    Prepare Vegetables

    While the salmon is grilling, prepare the seasonal vegetables. Trim the asparagus, slice the bell peppers, and cut the zucchini into half-moons.

  2. 8

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a separate pan over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Plating

  1. 9

    Serve

    On a serving plate, place a grilled salmon fillet, spoon over the lemon butter sauce, and add a generous helping of sautéed seasonal vegetables on the side.
