Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent the salmon from sticking.
- Season each salmon fillet on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- 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.
- 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.
- Sprinkle the finely chopped dill and parsley over the salmon fillets, generously coating them for a robust herb flavor.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
