Lemon Herb Grilled Salmon

Ingredients:

  • 4 salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Lemon slices, for garnish

Directions:

  1. Prep the Marinade:
    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, zest, garlic, parsley, dill, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  2. Marinate the Salmon:
    Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour marinade over the fish, coating evenly. Marinate for 15–30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  3. Grill the Salmon:
    Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates. Place salmon skin-side down and grill for 4–5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Serve:
    Remove from grill, garnish with lemon slices and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Serve with grilled veggies, rice, or a fresh salad.
