Equipment

  • Grill or grill pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Grilling spatula
  • Kitchen knife
  • Cutting board

Ingredients

For the Salmon

  • 4 fillets salmon 6 ounces each, 170g
  • 2 tbsp olive oil 30ml
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon sliced for garnish

For the Herb Butter

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened, 113g or 4 ounces
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill finely chopped, 30ml
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped, 15ml
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 lemon zest of

Instructions

  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  • Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, dill, parsley, minced garlic, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  • Place the salmon fillets on the hot grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 5 minutes or until the skin is crisp and easily releases from the grill.
  • Flip the salmon and grill for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the desired doneness is reached.
  • Remove the salmon fillets from the grill and allow them to rest for a couple of minutes.
  • Serve each salmon fillet with a generous dollop of the prepared herb butter melting on top.
  • Garnish with lemon slices and additional herbs if desired.

Notes

The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 145°F (63°C) when it's done.
Let the herb butter sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for easier spreading.
Leftover herb butter can be stored in the refrigerator and used on vegetables or other meats.
For a smokier flavor, consider using wood chips in your grill.
