Grilled Salmon with Lemon Butter

  1. Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high.

  2. Prepare Salmon: Season salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Optionally, sprinkle garlic powder or smoked paprika.

  3. Make Lemon Butter: In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Simmer gently for a few minutes, then remove from heat.

  4. Grill Salmon: Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until cooked through and flaky.

  5. Serve: Transfer salmon to a plate, drizzle with lemon butter, and garnish with fresh parsley or lemon slices. Serve immediately.
