Instructions

Combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Add the lamb chops, coating them thoroughly. Let the mixture marinate at room temperature for 20–30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 8 hours (bring to room temperature before cooking).
In a small bowl, mash the softened butter with the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest until well combined. Set aside.
Preheat the outdoor grill to medium-high heat (400–450°F) and oil the grates well. For a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat until very hot, lightly oil if needed.
Place the marinated lamb chops on the grill or grill pan in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary. Grill for 3–4 minutes on each side, until they are nicely charred and reach your desired doneness (about 130–135°F for medium-rare).
Once cooked, transfer the lamb chops to a serving platter and allow them to rest for 5 minutes. Top each chop with a portion of the prepared lemon butter, allowing it to melt over the warm meat.
Finish with flaky sea salt and serve immediately, accompanied by lemon wedges.

Notes

Make sure to let the lamb chops rest after grilling for optimal juiciness.
Adjust the marinating time based on your schedule; longer marination enhances flavor.
Feel free to add your favorite herbs to the butter for extra flavor.
