Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, dill, parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish, pour the marinade over them, and ensure both sides are coated.
- Marinate the salmon in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for more flavor.
Grilling
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Carefully place the marinated salmon fillets, skin-side down if applicable, on the preheated grill.
- Grill for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of garlic powder to the marinade. Be careful not to overcook the salmon to keep it moist and tender.
