Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 4 tablespoons Ghee (clarified butter)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Parsley leaves, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the herb butter by finely chopping the fresh parsley and dill. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix the ghee, chopped parsley, dill, and minced garlic together to form a smooth herb butter. Season with half a teaspoon of salt and a pinch of black pepper. Set aside.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Rub each fillet with olive oil and season with the remaining salt and black pepper on both sides.
Slice the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well-coated.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Close the lid and grill for 4-5 minutes until grill marks appear and the salmon can be easily flipped without sticking.
Carefully flip the salmon over and continue to grill for another 4-5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and immediately top each fillet with a generous dollop of the herb butter. Allow the butter to melt over the hot salmon.
Garnish with chopped parsley leaves and additional lemon wedges if desired before serving.
