Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillet
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).
In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by whisking together the juice of 1 lemon, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated. Let the salmon marinate for 10 minutes while the grill heats.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down (if the skin is on). Grill for 4-5 minutes on the first side, then carefully flip and grill for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is grilling, prepare the topping by mixing sour cream and chopped parsley in a small bowl. Set aside.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the grilled salmon warm, topped with a dollop of the sour cream mixture. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
