  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– 4 skinless salmon fillets (6 to 7 oz each)

– 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

– 1/4 cup olive oil plus more for brushing grill

– 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley plus more for garnish

– 4 teaspoons finely minced fresh rosemary

– 2 teaspoons finely minced fresh thyme

– 2 teaspoons finely minced garlic (about 2 cloves)

– 2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest

– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

– 1 teaspoon honey

– 1 teaspoon salt

– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1-Getting started: Begin by placing the salmon fillets in an 11 by 7-inch dish, as this sets the stage for even marinating. Then, whisk together the marinade in a small bowl to ensure all flavors blend well before adding it to the fish.

2-Follow these detailed steps: First, place the salmon fillets in an 11 by 7-inch dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure it coats both sides. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, turning the salmon once halfway through to let the flavors soak in. During the last 10 minutes of marinating, preheat the grill to medium-high heat and brush the grates with olive oil for a non-stick surface.

3-Continue with the grilling process: Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the grill. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes per side until it’s cooked through, with a bit of pink in the center if you prefer it that way, and spread some herbs over it for extra aroma. Finally, serve it warm, garnished with additional finely minced fresh parsley and lemon slices if desired, for a finishing touch that enhances the lemon grilled salmon’s bright taste. Remember, for adaptations like vegan options, swap in marinated tofu and adjust cooking times accordingly.

Notes

πŸ”₯ Choose salmon fillets that are at least 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick to avoid drying out on the grill.
🌿 Marinate salmon for no longer than 30 minutes to keep the fish texture intact.
🧽 Always preheat and clean the grill grates, then lightly oil them to prevent sticking.
