Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 sprigs (finely chopped) fresh rosemary
- 1 (juiced and zested) lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 4 (for serving) lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry using paper towels. Set them aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the salmon marinate for 10-15 minutes while you preheat the grill.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Once the grill is hot, place the salmon fillets skin side down on the grill. Discard any remaining marinade.
Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes on the first side, then carefully flip using a spatula. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Serve the grilled salmon hot with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness. Optionally, garnish with additional rosemary sprigs.
