Grilled Lemon-Herb Salmon
Serves 2
Ingredients:
- 2 salmon fillets skin on to prevent it falling apart (about 150-200g each)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, mix the lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped dill, chopped parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure that the fillets are evenly coated. Let them marinate for about 15-30 minutes.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade and place them on the preheated grill skin side up first. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness. You can also baste the salmon with the remaining marinade during grilling.
- Once the salmon is grilled, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve the grilled salmon with a side of roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh salad.
