Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, fresh dill, fresh parsley, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and place them skin-side down on the preheated grill. Discard any leftover marinade.
Grill the salmon for about 6 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has a nice char on the outside.
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled salmon warm with a garnish of fresh herbs or lemon slices, if desired.
