Ingredients
Salmon and Seasoning
- 4 salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Garlic Butter Glaze
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat to ensure proper searing and cooking of the salmon fillets.
- Prepare the Salmon: Brush each salmon fillet with olive oil to prevent sticking and help the seasoning adhere. Season the fillets evenly with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Grill the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the grill and cook for 4–5 minutes per side until the fish is fully cooked through and has a nice char on the outside.
- Make Garlic Butter Sauce: In a small pan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice to add brightness and acidity.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle the warm garlic butter sauce over the grilled salmon fillets. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
Notes
- You can also cook the salmon in a grill pan or bake it in the oven if grilling is not available.
- Pair the salmon with steamed broccoli or pasta to complete the meal.
