Ingredients
- Salmon fillets
- 4 (6 ounces each)
- Olive oil
- 1/4 cup
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon
- Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons, chopped
- Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons, chopped
- Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons, chopped
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped dill, parsley, thyme, lemon zest, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a fragrant herb marinade.
- Gently brush the herb mixture onto both sides of the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well-coated for maximum flavor infusion.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip and grill for another 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, enhancing the tenderness.
- Serve the grilled salmon with your choice of side dishes, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh green salad, and enjoy the burst of flavors!
Tips
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the herb marinade.
- If you prefer a slightly smoky flavor, consider adding a few wood chips to your grill.
- This marinade can also be used for other fish such as trout or snapper.
