Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 zest of lemon
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, salt, pepper, and lemon zest until well combined.
Step 2
Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the lemon herb marinade over the salmon, ensuring that each piece is well coated.
Step 3
Cover the dish or seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the salmon to absorb the marinade flavors.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 6
Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the grilled salmon immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
