How to Make Garlic Lemon Butter Salmon:

Preheat the grill and spray plenty of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! Original Spray onto the grill pan.
Combine garlic, lemon juice, rosemary, salt and pepper. Crush the garlic and rosemary into the lemon juice to create a paste. I like using a mortar & pestle to do this, but you could also use a small bowl and a glass to crush the garlic.
Spread the garlic paste over the salmon filets, then let them sit in the fridge for about 20 minutes.
After that, spray each filet with the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! Spray, then flip and spray the other side as you place them on the grill pan.
Grill salmon (covered) for 4-5 minutes.
Flip the filets, spray again, and grill another 6-8 minutes.
Remove salmon from the grill once fully cooked and flaky.

How long does it take to grill salmon?

For this grilled garlic butter salmon, the total cook time will be about 10-14 minutes.

What temperature should I cook salmon to?

Grilled salmon should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F before consuming. Use an instant read thermometer to check the internal temperature at the thickest part of the filet. Salmon cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it.
