Lemony Herb Grilled Salmon: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 40 minute

Ingredients

– 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
– Juice of 2 lemons
– Zest of 1 lemon
– ¼ cup olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
– 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– Lemon slices (for garnish)
– Fresh herbs (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Lemony Herb Grilled Salmon is easy with these step-by-step instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, dill, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Whisk well to combine.
2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring it is evenly coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375°F to 400°F).
4. Prepare the Grill Grates: Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. You can use a paper towel dipped in oil and tongs for this.
5. Grill the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 5-7 minutes per side, for a total of 10-15 minutes, depending on thickness. The salmon should be opaque and flake easily with a fork when done.
6. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh herbs before serving.

These easy-to-follow steps will ensure that your Lemony Herb Grilled Salmon turns out flavorful and tender every time.
