Grilling salmon is a classic cooking technique that brings out the fish's natural flavors. In this recipe, we've added a flavorful herb-and-lemon butter sauce to create a dish that's both elegant and easy to make. The sauce is made with fresh parsley, dill, lemon juice, and butter, and it's brushed over the grilled salmon before serving. The result is a moist, flavorful fish with a zesty, herbaceous crust.
