- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 lemon Lemon slices
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh dill, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
Step 3
Place the salmon fillets in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the fish.
Step 4
Seal the bag or cover the dish, ensuring the salmon is well-coated, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Step 5
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 375-425°F (190-218°C).
Step 6
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the marinade and shake off excess. Reserve the marinade for basting.
Step 8
Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down if applicable.
Step 9
Grill the salmon for 5-6 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with the reserved marinade, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has a golden-brown crust.
Step 10
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 11
Garnish with lemon slices and serve alongside your favorite side dishes.
