Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 tablespoons ghee
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 2 cloves minced garlic
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush each fillet with olive oil on both sides.
Step 3
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice from one half over the salmon fillets. Reserve the other half for serving.
Step 4
Season the salmon fillets with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly.
Step 5
To make the herb butter, in a small bowl, combine the ghee, finely chopped parsley, dill, chives, and minced garlic. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 6
Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin side down. Grill for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is opaque in color and easily flakes with a fork.
Step 7
In the last minute of grilling, spoon a tablespoon of the herb butter mixture over each salmon fillet, allowing it to melt and coat the salmon.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 9
Serve the grilled salmon with an additional dollop of herb butter on top and a wedge of lemon on the side. Pair with your favorite Paleo-friendly sides like roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
