Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dill, parsley, black pepper, lemon zest, thyme leaves, and honey
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the lemon herb marinade over them, making sure each fillet is well coated.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
Once the grill is hot, oil the grates lightly to prevent the salmon from sticking.
Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and place them on the grill, skin side down.
Grill the salmon for 4 minutes per side, or until the flesh flakes easily with a fork and has a nice char on both sides.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled salmon with a fresh lemon wedge and a sprinkle of additional chopped herbs, if desired.
