Instructions

In a shallow dish or zip-top bag, mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper. Add lamb chops and coat evenly. Let marinate for 20–30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 8 hours (bring back to room temperature before cooking).
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. Set aside.
For outdoor grilling, preheat to medium-high heat (400–450°F) and oil the grates. For a grill pan, heat over medium-high until hot and lightly brush with oil if necessary.
Place marinated lamb chops on the grill or grill pan in a single layer. Grill for 3–4 minutes on each side until charred and cooked to your desired doneness (about 130–135°F for medium-rare).
Transfer the grilled lamb chops to a serving platter and let them rest for 5 minutes. Top each chop with a pat of the prepared lemon butter, allowing it to melt over the warm lamb.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges and finish with flaky sea salt.

Notes

Make sure to let the lamb chops rest after grilling to enhance their juiciness.
Adjust the grilling time based on your preferred level of doneness.
Serve with a side of vegetables or a salad to complete the meal.
