Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets 6 oz each
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon slices for garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or ziplock bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F / 190-200°C). Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Serve:
- Remove the salmon from the grill and garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley. Serve with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a quinoa salad. Enjoy!
