Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Brush the salmon fillets with the olive oil mixture, ensuring even coating on both sides.
Grate or finely mince the garlic cloves and mix them into the mayonnaise in another bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley and stir well. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side down. Grill for 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the grilled salmon with a dollop of garlic mayonnaise on top or on the side. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and serve with a lemon wedge.
