Ingredients

• •2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
• •2 tbsp olive oil

• •4 tbsp unsalted butter
• •2 cloves garlic (minced)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).

2. 2

   Brush both sides of the salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

3. 3

   Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

   While the salmon is grilling, prepare the lemon butter sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

5. 5

   Add minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

6. 6

   Stir in lemon juice and lemon zest into the garlic butter. Cook for an additional minute to allow the flavors to combine.

7. 7

   Once the salmon is done grilling, remove fillets from the grill and drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the top.

8. 8

   Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
