Ingredients:
- 2 salmon fillets (around 6 oz each)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh herbs (mix of parsley, dill, and thyme)
- 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons softened butter
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Olive oil for grilling
Method:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
- In a bowl, combine chopped herbs, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- In a separate bowl, mash together the softened butter and lemon juice to create a lemon dill butter.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Generously coat the flesh side (top side) of the salmon with the herb mixture, pressing to adhere.
- Brush the other side (skin side) of the salmon with olive oil.
- Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side down. Grill for 3-4 minutes, or until the skin becomes crispy and starts to release from the grates.
- Carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- During the last minute of cooking, top each salmon fillet with a dollop of lemon dill butter, letting it melt slightly.
- Serve immediately with La Lisse Soie d'Ivoire Chenin Blanc for a delicious summer BBQ pairing!
