Herb-Infused Grilled Salmon with Lemon

Ingredients

• Salmon fillets (4 (6 oz each))
• Black pepper (1 teaspoon, freshly ground)
• Salt (1 teaspoon)
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Fresh parsley (2 tablespoons, finely chopped)
• Fresh dill (2 tablespoons, finely chopped)
• Lemon (1, thinly sliced)

Instructions

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent the salmon from sticking.
2. Season each salmon fillet on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Drizzle olive oil evenly over the salmon fillets. Gently rub it on all sides to ensure they are well coated, which helps to keep them moist during grilling.
4. Arrange a few thin lemon slices on top of each salmon fillet. This not only infuses the salmon with a citrusy flavor but also helps to keep it moist.
5. Sprinkle the finely chopped dill and parsley over the salmon fillets, generously coating them for a robust herb flavor.
6. Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked to your liking. The fillets should be lightly charred on the outside and flaky on the inside.
7. Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the fillets, ensuring moist and flavorful salmon.
8. Serve the grilled salmon hot, garnished with extra lemon slices and a sprinkling of fresh herbs, if desired. Enjoy it with a fresh garden salad or sautéed vegetables for a complete, nutritious meal.
