Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Lemon slices, for garnish
Instructions:
1.Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, chopped dill, chopped parsley, minced garlic, and lemon zest. Season with salt and black pepper.
2.Marinate the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the lemon herb marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3.Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
4.Grill the Salmon:
- Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the preheated grill. Grill each fillet for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
5.Serve:
- Transfer the grilled salmon to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh lemon slices and extra herbs if desired. Serve hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes.
Tips:
- For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle additional lemon juice over the salmon just before serving.
- Pair this dish with a light salad or steamed vegetables for a healthy and balanced meal.
