Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup Vegan butter
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse and pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, the juice of half a lemon, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper.
Brush both sides of the salmon fillets with the olive oil mixture.
Mince fresh dill and parsley, then set aside for the herb butter.
Cut the remaining half of the lemon into thin wedges for serving.
In a separate bowl, mix the vegan butter, minced dill, minced parsley, minced chives, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt to create a dairy-free herb butter.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for 5 minutes each side or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and immediately top each fillet with a tablespoon of the herb butter, allowing it to melt over the hot fish.
Serve the grilled salmon with lemon wedges on the side and garnish with any remaining herbs.
