Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 whole Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and brush each side with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper evenly across all fillets.
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, chopped parsley, minced garlic, and lemon zest. Mix until well combined and set aside.
Place the salmon fillets skin side down on the preheated grill. Close the lid and grill for about 5 to 6 minutes.
Carefully flip the salmon using a wide spatula. If the skin is sticking, wait another minute or two. Grill for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, depending on the thickness, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Top each fillet with a dollop of the prepared herb butter.
Serve the grilled salmon hot with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
