Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 clove, minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Remove the salmon fillets from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before cooking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the unsalted butter, fresh parsley, fresh dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, black pepper, and lemon zest. Mix until well combined.
Step 3
Place the herb butter mixture on a piece of plastic wrap, shape it into a log, and wrap it tightly. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to firm up.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil on both sides.
Step 6
Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the grill and place on a serving platter. Slice the herb butter into 1/4-inch rounds and place a slice on each hot salmon fillet allowing it to melt slightly.
Step 8
Serve immediately, garnished with a few fresh dill sprigs and lemon wedges, if desired.
