Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets, skin on or off
- 2 lemons, zested and juiced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat dry.
- Whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped herbs, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Place salmon in a dish and coat with the marinade; cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- Preheat grill to medium-high or oven to 400°F (200°C). Cook salmon for 12-15 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs for better flavor; dried herbs can be used in lesser amounts.
- Do not over-marinate to avoid mushy texture.
- Cook salmon to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for best results.
- Cooking with skin on can help retain moisture.
