- Mix a combination of pepper, seasoning salt, finely chopped parsley leaves, garlic powder, and melted butter.

3. Some Tips for Cooking Garlic Butter Grilled Salmon
You can make garlic butter grilled salmon using an air fryer instead of an oven. Oven temperatures vary depending on the wattage. So, adjust the cooking time properly to avoid overcooking the salmon, which may result in a dry and less flavorful dish.
Salmon fillets should be purchased from reputable sources such as supermarkets or local fish markets. Choose fillets with a fresh orange color, even marbling of fat, dry surface, and firm texture. Press the fillet with your finger to assess its elasticity. The fillet should not have any strange odor or discoloration, and it should still be within its expiration date.
