Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 units, for serving Lemon wedges
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended.
Place the salmon fillets in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the lemon herb marinade over the salmon fillets, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the fillets skin-side down on the hot grill.
Grill the salmon for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the fish to maintain its moistness.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled salmon with fresh lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Pair with your favorite keto-friendly side dishes such as grilled vegetables or a fresh green salad.
