  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

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

  1. Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat dry.
  2. Whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped herbs, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  3. Place salmon in a dish and coat with the marinade; cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  4. 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.
