Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets, skin-on
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Brush each salmon fillet with olive oil to prevent sticking during grilling.
Step 4
Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook to maintain juiciness.
Step 5
While the salmon is grilling, prepare the herb butter. In a small bowl, combine the unsalted butter, chopped parsley, dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, and minced garlic.
Step 6
Mix the herb butter ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Step 7
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the grill and transfer it to a serving platter.
Step 8
Immediately spread the herb butter over the hot grilled salmon fillets, allowing it to melt and infuse the salmon with flavor.
Step 9
Serve the grilled salmon with your choice of side dishes such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad, and enjoy your low-fat, flavorful meal.
