Ingredients
- 4 fillets salmon fillets
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Zest and juice the lemon, placing both the zest and juice in a small bowl.
Step 2
Finely chop the fresh parsley and dill and add to the bowl with the lemon.
Step 3
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the lemon mixture.
Step 4
Add olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl and whisk to combine, creating your marinade.

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
Step 6
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Step 7
Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grill grates with additional olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill.
Step 9
Grill the salmon for 5-7 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 10
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve the grilled salmon warm, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
