Ingredients
- 4 Sitka salmon fillets, about 6 oz each
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- For the Lemon-Herb Butter:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Lemon-Herb Butter: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, dill (if using), minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated. Set aside.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Season the Salmon: Rub the salmon fillets with olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper.
- Grill the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork.
- Serve: Once cooked, transfer the salmon fillets to plates. Dollop a generous amount of the lemon-herb butter on top of each fillet while they're still hot, allowing it to melt over the salmon. Serve immediately.
