Ingredients

For the Garlic Herb Butter:

• 6 tablespoons salted butter, softened
  
  

• 2 garlic cloves, minced
  
  

• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
  
  

• 1 tablespoon fresh dill weed, minced
  
  

For the Salmon:

• 2 lbs salmon fillets with skin on
  
  

• Salt, to taste
  
  

Directions

1. Prepare the Garlic Herb Butter:
   
   

   • Allow the butter to soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
     
     

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with minced garlic, parsley, and dill.
     
     

   • Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
     
     

   • Set aside a portion of the butter for serving; the rest will be used to coat the salmon.
     
     

2. Grill the Salmon:
   
   

   • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
     
     

   • Clean and oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
     
     

   • Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
     
     

   • Season both sides of the fillets with salt.
     
     

   • Generously coat each fillet with the prepared garlic herb butter, reserving some for topping after grilling.
     
     

   • Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin side up.
     
     

   • Close the grill lid and cook for 3–4 minutes.
     
     

   • Carefully flip the fillets using a fish spatula.
     
     

   • Grill for an additional 4–6 minutes, or until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
     
     

   • Remove from the grill and immediately top with the reserved garlic herb butter.
