Main Ingredients
  • 4 count salmon fillets

  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs such as dill, parsley, or thyme, chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Equipment

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and brush the grates with a little oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels; then, season both sides with salt and black pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and chopped fresh herbs.
Grilling
  1. Brush the salmon fillets with the herb-infused olive oil on both sides.
  2. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill and arrange lemon slices on top of each fillet.
  3. Grill for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Serving
  1. Carefully remove the grilled salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  2. Serve immediately with additional fresh lemon wedges and your favorite side dishes.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in the lemon-herb olive oil for 15-30 minutes before grilling. You can also add a pinch of garlic powder to the herb mixture for an enhanced taste.
