Directions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high and pat salmon dry with paper towels.

  2. In a small saucepan, melt butter with olive oil, add lemon juice, minced garlic (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Simmer until fragrant, then remove from heat.

  3. Brush salmon with a portion of the glaze and place on the grill, skin-side down if skin is present. Grill 4–5 minutes per side until opaque and just flakey.

    Avoid overcooking
  4. Baste with remaining glaze halfway through cooking. Remove from grill, rest 2 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped parsley and extra lemon juice if desired.
