A delightful grilled salmon recipe featuring a zesty lemon herb butter for a flavorful and juicy dish.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
Use low heat to prevent the butter from burning and to maintain its creamy texture.
Stir in the juice of one lemon and the chopped dill into the melted butter.
Freshly squeezed lemon juice adds a vibrant flavor compared to bottled juice.
Preheat the grill to medium heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Brush the salmon fillets with half of the lemon herb butter mixture.
Coating the salmon evenly ensures a consistent flavor throughout.
Place the salmon on the grill, skin side down, and cook for 6-8 minutes.
Avoid flipping the salmon too early to maintain its integrity.
Baste the salmon with the remaining butter mixture during grilling.
Frequent basting keeps the salmon moist and flavorful.
Serve the grilled salmon with a garnish of fresh dill and lemon slices.
Adding a garnish enhances the presentation and provides an extra burst of freshness.
