Preparation time
- Total: Approximately 25 minutes.
- Preparation: 15 minutes.
- Cooking: 10 minutes.
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs (such as dill, parsley, and thyme), salt, and black pepper.
- Marinate the salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour, turning occasionally.
- Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). Brush the grates with oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill the salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side down. Close the lid and grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve: Transfer the grilled salmon to a serving platter and garnish with lemon slices and additional chopped herbs, if desired.
- Enjoy: Serve hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
