A delightful and easy-to-make grilled salmon recipe infused with zesty lemon and aromatic herbs.
Prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped herbs in a mixing bowl.
Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
Rub the salmon fillets with the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for 20 minutes.
Marinating the salmon enhances its flavor and keeps it moist during grilling.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Ensure the grill is hot before placing the salmon to prevent sticking.
Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, basting with the remaining marinade.
Use a fish spatula to handle the salmon gently and avoid breaking it.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the salmon moist.
Serve the grilled salmon with a garnish of fresh parsley and lemon slices. Enjoy!
Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
