Grilled Salmon Recipe with Lemon Herbs

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (6oz each)
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 lemons, juiced and zested
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp paprika

Instructions

1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).

2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dill, parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika.

3. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them in a shallow dish.

4. Pour half of the herb mixture over the salmon, reserving the other half. Let marinate for 10 minutes.

5. Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

6. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving.

7. Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until fish flakes easily with a fork.

8. Remove from grill and drizzle with the reserved herb mixture.

9. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

• Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C)
• Don’t overcook - salmon should still be slightly pink in the center
• Great served with roasted vegetables or rice
• Can also be cooked in a grill pan on the stovetop
