    Place the seasoned salmon filets on the oiled griddle surface, flesh side down. Allow to cook on the first side untouched for about 6-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of your filets. Then flip to the second side, and cover with a melting dome. Continue to cook the filets domed for about 4-5 minutes, or until almost done to your liking. Then remove the dome.

    Turn off the griddle, and add about 2 tablespoons of butter to the griddle surface near the cooked salmon. Add the sliced garlic to the butter and stir it around a bit to create a simple garlic butter. You can also use your bench scraper to chop up the garlic a bit on the griddle. Add the juice of 1 - 1.5 lemons to the garlic and butter. Allow the lemon juice, garlic, and butter to cook for about 1 minute around the salmon. Then, use your spatula to add the garlic butter to the top of your salmon filets.
