A delightful grilled salmon recipe with a zesty citrus and herb marinade, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean to prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, juice from the orange, and chopped parsley.
Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best flavor.
Place the salmon fillets in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for 15 minutes.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap to keep the marinade fresh.
Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking. Place the salmon fillets on the grill.
Cook the salmon skin-side down first for a crispy texture.
Grill the salmon for about 5 minutes on each side, or until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Avoid overcooking to keep the salmon moist and tender.
Season the grilled salmon with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
