Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 whole Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
Step 2
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and brush each side with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper evenly across all fillets.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, chopped parsley, minced garlic, and lemon zest. Mix until well combined and set aside.
Step 4
Place the salmon fillets skin side down on the preheated grill. Close the lid and grill for about 5 to 6 minutes.
Step 5
Carefully flip the salmon using a wide spatula. If the skin is sticking, wait another minute or two. Grill for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, depending on the thickness, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 6
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Top each fillet with a dollop of the prepared herb butter.
Step 7
Serve the grilled salmon hot with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
