Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent the salmon from sticking.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Rub each salmon fillet with olive oil on both sides and season with salt and black pepper. Place a small sprig of rosemary on the flesh side of each fillet for added flavor.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Close the lid and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the salmon easily releases from the grill grates.
Carefully flip the salmon fillets and grill for an additional 2-4 minutes, depending on the thickness, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the salmon from the grill and set aside.
While the salmon cooks, prepare the garlic butter sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley, then remove the sauce from heat.
Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the grilled salmon fillets before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
Serve with your favorite side dishes such as roasted vegetables or wild rice.
