Ingredients
  

Salmon fillets
  • 4 salmon fillets about 7 oz each
Marinade
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 garlic minced
Herb Butter
  • 4 tbsp butter softened
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 salt pinch
To serve
  • 1 mashed potatoes
  • 1 steamed vegetables

Equipment

  • 1 grill
  • 1 cast iron skillet

Method
 

Marinate the salmon
  1. Mix soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice with minced garlic until combined, then coat the salmon fillets and let them marinate for 30 minutes.
Make the herb butter
  1. Mix softened butter, chopped fresh parsley, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt, then roll into plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm (about 30 minutes).
Sear the salmon
  1. Grill or pan-sear the salmon over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side, until cooked through and showing good sear marks.
Finish and serve
  1. Immediately off the heat, top each hot salmon fillet with a slice of herb butter so it melts over the fish.
Plate
  1. Serve the salmon with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.

Notes

Pro tip: For the best sear, pat the salmon dry after marinating so the surface browns instead of steaming. Store leftover salmon covered in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat gently to avoid drying. Freezing is not recommended for the butter-topped texture, but you can freeze cooked salmon before topping. For a lighter option, use light butter (or a butter-oil blend) to reduce fat while keeping the herb flavor.
