Directions
Step 1
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dill, parsley, black pepper, lemon zest, thyme leaves, and honey
Step 2
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the lemon herb marinade over them, making sure each fillet is well coated.

Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Step 4
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the grill is hot, oil the grates lightly to prevent the salmon from sticking.

Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and place them on the grill, skin side down.
Step 7
Grill the salmon for 4 minutes per side, or until the flesh flakes easily with a fork and has a nice char on both sides.
