Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon or halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). If using a gas grill, oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Pat the salmon or halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly brush both sides of the fish with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the fillets, ensuring they are fully coated with the marinade.
Place the fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for 5-6 minutes without flipping.
Using a spatula, carefully flip the fillets and grill for another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Once cooked, transfer the fillets to a serving platter and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
Enjoy your grilled salmon or halibut with your favorite side dishes!
