Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried dill)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Preparation Steps
- Marinate the salmon: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dill, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over them. Let the salmon marinate for 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat the grill: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill the salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the salmon on the grill, skin-side down if applicable. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve: Transfer the salmon to a plate and garnish with additional fresh herbs or lemon slices. Serve hot with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
