Hi! I'm Lindsay.

Grilled Salmon with Lemon Butter - Perfectly grilled salmon fillets with crispy skin and moist, flaky interior, finished with a bright lemon butter sauce. The high-heat grilling creates a beautiful crust while locking in the natural juices and omega-3 oils. Fresh lemon juice and zest cut through the richness of the fish, while the butter sauce adds a velvety texture that complements the salmon's natural flavor. This restaurant-quality dish comes together in under 30 minutes but tastes like it came from a fine dining establishment. The key is proper seasoning and not overcooking the salmon, leaving it slightly translucent in the center for the most tender results.

Serve salmon skin-side up to showcase the crispy texture, with lemon butter sauce spooned around the plate. Accompany with roasted asparagus or green beans and herbed rice pilaf. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs and lemon wedges for squeezing. Use warm plates to maintain temperature throughout the meal. For wine pairing, choose a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay that complements the citrus notes. Present on white plates for dramatic color contrast with the pink salmon and green garnishes. Drizzle extra sauce tableside for restaurant-style presentation.
How to Store?
Store leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The lemon butter sauce may solidify when chilled - reheat gently over low heat while whisking. Salmon does not freeze well after cooking as the texture becomes dry and mealy. For best results, consume immediately after preparation. If you must store, place in the coldest part of the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before serving cold in salads. Do not reheat in microwave as it will overcook the delicate fish. The butter sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 5 days, reheating gently before serving.
