Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 zest of lemon
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, salt, pepper, and lemon zest until well combined.
Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the lemon herb marinade over the salmon, ensuring that each piece is well coated.
Cover the dish or seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the salmon to absorb the marinade flavors.
Preheat your 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. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled salmon immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
