Instructions

In a shallow dish or zip-top bag, combine the olive oil, garlic, rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper. Add the lamb chops and toss to coat evenly, allowing to 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 lemon juice and lemon zest until smooth and combined; set aside.
For outdoor grilling, preheat to medium-high heat (400-450°F) and oil the grates well. For a grill pan, heat over medium-high until very hot, brushing with oil if necessary.
Place the lamb chops on the grill or grill pan in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Grill for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely charred and cooked to preferred doneness (130-135°F for medium-rare).
Transfer the lamb chops to a serving platter and let them rest for 5 minutes. Top each chop with a pat of lemon butter allowing it to melt over the warm lamb.
Finish with flaky sea salt and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

Marinating the lamb chops for longer enhances their flavor; refrigerating up to 8 hours is recommended.
Ensure the grill or pan is hot enough for a good sear to lock in the juices.
Adjust cooking time based on your preference for meat doneness.
