Equipment

  • Grill
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Brush for olive oil
  • Measuring spoons
  • Grill spatula
  • Paper towels

Ingredients

  • 4 fillets salmon 6 ounces each or 170 grams
  • 2 tbsp olive oil 30ml
  • 1 tsp sea salt 5g
  • ½ tsp black pepper 1g
  • 1 tsp garlic powder 3g
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill finely chopped, 3g
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped, 3g
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened, 113g or 4 ounces
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice 15ml
  • Lemon slices for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C).
  • Rinse the salmon fillets and pat them dry with paper towels.
  • Brush each fillet with olive oil and season with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, dill, parsley, and lemon juice until well combined. Set aside.
  • Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Close the lid and grill for about 5-6 minutes.
  • Carefully flip the salmon fillets and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  • Remove the salmon from the grill and immediately top each fillet with a generous dollop of the prepared herb butter.
  • Garnish with lemon slices and serve hot.

Notes

For an extra flavor boost, consider marinating the salmon fillets in the olive oil and spices for 30 minutes prior to grilling. Always ensure your grill grates are clean and oiled to prevent the salmon from sticking. Adjust cook time if fillets are thicker or thinner than suggested. The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 145°F (63°C) when it's done.
