Ingredients:

  • 4 (6 oz / 170 g) center-cut salmon fillets
  • 1 tsp (5 g) kosher salt
  • ½ tsp (3 g) cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
  • 3 tbsp (42 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cloves (9 g) garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp (2 g) dried oregano
  • ¼ tsp (1.5 g) paprika

Instructions:

  1. Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, and paprika until emulsified.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high (approx. 400°F / 200°C) and brush the grates with olive oil.
  4. Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes without moving them until the fish releases naturally from the grate.
  5. Flip the fillets and immediately brush the seared side generously with the lemon garlic butter.
  6. Grill for another 3-5 minutes until an instant-read thermometer indicates an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C).
  7. Remove the salmon from the heat and let rest for 3 minutes before serving.
