Servings: 4

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

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
  2. 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.
  3. Gently brush the herb mixture onto both sides of the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well-coated for maximum flavor infusion.
  4. 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.
  5. Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, enhancing the tenderness.
  6. 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!
