Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0 cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
Step 2
Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the fillets are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 3
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly coat the grill grates with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Step 5
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill.
Step 6
Grill the salmon for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has grill marks.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 8
Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of side dishes such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
