Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole, sliced into wedges lemon
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh chives
- 1 clove, minced garlic
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Brush both sides of the salmon fillets with olive oil and season each with salt and black pepper.
Place the salmon on the grill, skin side down, and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the herb butter by combining the unsalted butter, parsley, dill, chives, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Mix well with a fork until all ingredients are fully integrated.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove from the grill and place on a serving platter.
Spoon a dollop of herb butter onto each fillet, allowing it to melt slightly and spread over the warm fish.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing fresh lemon juice over the top.
Enjoy your heart-healthy grilled salmon!
