Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful marinade.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and brush generously with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C). Prepare the grill by cleaning and lightly oiling the grates.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cooked salmon for added flavor.
- Transfer the grilled salmon to a serving platter, garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the salmon for up to 1 hour.
- Ensure your grill is properly preheated to prevent sticking and achieve optimal grill marks.
- You can substitute fresh herbs for dried ones; use three times more fresh herbs for a vibrant taste.
- Reheat leftovers gently in the oven or microwave to preserve texture and flavor.
