Description
A recipe for grilling salmon fillets topped with a simple dill butter sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates.
- Brush both sides of the salmon fillets with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, chopped dill, and lemon juice until combined.
- Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill. Grill for 4 to 6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- During the last minute of cooking, place a spoonful of the dill butter on top of each fillet. Allow it to melt over the fish.
- Remove the salmon from the grill and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can prepare the dill butter ahead of time and keep it refrigerated. Let it soften slightly before using.
- If you do not have fresh dill, use 1 teaspoon of dried dill weed.
