Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 whole jalapeno, finely minced
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 as needed cooking spray or oil for grill grates
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Clean the grill grates and lightly coat with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and brush both sides with olive oil. Season each fillet evenly with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the unsalted butter, minced jalapeno, minced garlic, lime juice, and chopped parsley. Mix well until smooth and set aside.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Close the lid and grill for 6-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is almost cooked through.
Carefully flip the salmon fillets and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes. Top each fillet with a generous dollop of the jalapeno butter, allowing it to melt over the warm salmon.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
