Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Grilled Salmon with Lemon Butter and Roasted Vegetables is a classic dish that has its roots in the Pacific Northwest, where fresh salmon is abundant. The dish is a celebration of the region's bountiful seafood and vibrant produce. Renowned chefs like Tom Douglas and Ethan Stowell have popularized this dish in their Seattle restaurants, infusing it with their own unique twists. The key to this dish is the perfect balance of flavors - the smoky char from the grilled salmon, the tangy brightness of the lemon butter, and the caramelized sweetness of the roasted vegetables. It's a dish that showcases the natural beauty of the ingredients and the skill of the chef. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in top seafood restaurants in Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver, where chefs continue to innovate and elevate this classic recipe.

This method adds an extra layer of complexity to the dish, making it a standout on any menu. Whether enjoyed in a fine dining establishment or prepared at home, Grilled Salmon with Lemon Butter and Roasted Vegetables is a timeless dish that captures the essence of the Pacific Northwest's culinary heritage.
