Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 fillets salmon fillets
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Zest and juice the lemon, placing both the zest and juice in a small bowl.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and dill and add to the bowl with the lemon.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the lemon mixture.
Add olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl and whisk to combine, creating your marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grill grates with additional olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill.
Grill the salmon for 5-7 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled salmon warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
