Olive Garden's Herb Grilled Salmon
Description
The recipe begins by marinating salmon fillets with freshly squeezed lemon juice and seasoning them evenly with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. After allowing the flavors to meld for 10 to 15 minutes, the grill is heated to 400°F and grates are oiled to prevent sticking. The salmon is placed skin-side down, brushed with olive oil, and grilled with the lid closed for 14 to 20 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Meanwhile, a simple garlic herb butter is prepared by combining softened unsalted butter with minced garlic and chopped fresh parsley, lending a creamy, aromatic topping to the salmon.
This grilled salmon is ideal as a protein main, served with the garlic herb butter melting over the hot fish to add moisture and flavor. The herb and lemon combination together with the buttery topping balances freshness with savory depth. The grilling method imparts slight char and retains moistness.
