Instructions

MAKE THE LEMON DILL BUTTER:

In a bowl, add the softened butter with dill, lemon zest and black pepper. Use a fork to mash and stir until thoroughly combined. Set off to the side.

GRILL THE SALMON:

Pull out the salmon and bring it up to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes. Divide it into four portions and lightly brush or spray with oil on both sides of the salmon. With the skin side down, sprinkle with lemon pepper.
Meanwhile, clean your grill grates and rub them with a paper towel that has soaked in oil.
Preheat your grill to 450℉.
Once hot, open the lid lay the salmon, skin-side down, onto the hot grill grates. Let the salmon cook for 5 to 6 minutes.
Carefully flip and grill for another 5-6 minutes or until fully cooked. It should be opaque and flake easily.
Remove and top with a desired amount of lemon-dill butter.
