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

  1. 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.
  2. Preheat the grill: Heat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
