Perfectly grilled salmon fillet with a garlic-lemon herb butter glaze — fresh, healthy, and ready in just 20 minutes. A weeknight winner that feels like a restaurant-quality meal.
Mix melted butter with minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, and dill. Season with salt and pepper.
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Brush with a little olive oil.
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 6–7 minutes without moving.
Carefully flip the salmon. Brush generously with the herb butter. Cook for another 3–4 minutes until just cooked through.
Rest for 2 minutes, then drizzle with remaining herb butter. Serve with lemon wedges and your favourite side.
Don't move the salmon while it's grilling skin-side down — let it release naturally from the grill. If it sticks, it's not ready yet. Patience gives you that perfect crispy skin.
