Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets Salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 lemon Lemon slices
Instructions
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh dill, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the fish.
Seal the bag or cover the dish, ensuring the salmon is well-coated, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 375-425°F (190-218°C).
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon from the marinade and shake off excess. Reserve the marinade for basting.
Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down if applicable.
Grill the salmon for 5-6 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with the reserved marinade, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has a golden-brown crust.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with lemon slices and serve alongside your favorite side dishes.
