Grilled Salmon with Lemon Butter

1Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the salmon with olive oil (2 tbsp) and season generously with salt (½ tsp) and pepper.

2Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 200-230°C or 400-450°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

3Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Grill for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until cooked through and flaky. The internal temperature should reach 63°C (145°F).

4While the salmon is grilling, prepare the lemon butter sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter (½ cup) over medium-low heat.

5Add the minced garlic (2 cloves) to the melted butter and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to brown the garlic (2 cloves).

6Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice (2 tbsp), chopped parsley, salt (¼ tsp), and a pinch of black pepper (¼ tsp). Mix well.

7Once the salmon is cooked, transfer it to a serving platter. Spoon the warm lemon butter sauce generously over each salmon fillet.

8Serve immediately with fresh lemon (2 tbsp) wedges on the side.
