Who isn’t aware of the Olive Garden and its delicious, mouth-watering yet exquisite Italian menu. They have something for everyone. But, of course, my favorite has to be the Salmon at Olive Garden, so I have brought together this herby delicious delicacy called The Herb-Grilled Salmon Recipe for you today. After several attempts, I was able to get this temptation right.
So, without further ado, let’s jump onto the ingredients and recipe;
Olive Garden Salmon Recipe
Ingredients
For The Grilled Salmon
- 1 pound Salmon fillets. With skin
- 4 tsp Olive Oil. Extra virgin
- 2 Lemons.
- 2 tbsp Italian Seasoning.
- Salt and pepper. To taste
For Garlic Butter Herb
- ½ cup Unsalted Butter.
- 1 clove Garlic.
- ¾ tsp Parsley. Fresh, Chopped
Garlic Rice and Veggies
- 1 cup Rice
- 3 tbsp Garlic. Chopped
- ⅓ cup Butter.
Instructions
Preparation : Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s get on with making The Olive Garden Salmon Recipe: Before we start, there are two things that we need to do. Firstly, marinate the Salmon and put a pot of water on the stove to boil our Rice and freeze our Herb Butter.
Garlic Butter Herb;
- In a bowl, add butter, garlic, and parsley. Mix all these to make a good paste. Place it on parchment paper, fold it, seal both ends, and put it in the freezer to chill.
Salmon Marination;
- In a bowl, place your salmon and add in salt, pepper, and Italian seasonings. Rub these on both sides of the salmon and let it sit and marinate for about 15-20 minutes.
Making the Herb-Grilled Salmon;
- Get a skillet and add oil to it. You may use cooking spray if you are trying to avoid extra calories.
- Once hot, add in your marinated salmon. Place it skin-side down and brush it with some oil.
- Cook the salmon well on both sides by flipping it regularly until you get the desired cook.
- Once it's done, cover it so that it stays warm while you cook your Rice.
Garlic Rice and Veggies;
- Take some asparagus and blach it in hot water. Once done, take a pan and add a dash of oil and place your asparagus in it. Sprinkle some Salt and pepper on it and saute it for a minute. Once done, keep it aside.
- In another pan, add butter and let it melt. Once melted, add in the boiled rice and stir. Cook it on medium heat to avoid the browning of rice.
- Now add in the chopped Garlic and mix. Cook for about 5 minutes to get the Rice fully tender and aromatic.
To Serve;
- Get your Herb Butter out of the freezer and cut a ½ cm ring out of it.
- Get a platter and on one side add your rice and asparagus and on the other Place the hot salmon and on top of it, keep the herb butter.
- Serve it with lemon wedges and top the salmon with some leftover sauce in the pan to help melt the butter faster.

Tips and Tricks
- Garnish lemon with rosemary or parsley and squeeze some lemon to enhance flavor
- If you don’t have any Italian spice on hand, make your own salmon seasoning by combining 2 teaspoons oregano, basil, and parsley with 1 tablespoon each of rosemary, thyme, and garlic powder. Mix to combine
- When cooking your salmon, place two rings of lemon and then place your salmon in the pan to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
