Prepare a delicious marinade
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped dill, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to mix all ingredients thoroughly.
Season the salmon generously
- Place salmon fillets on a plate or in a shallow dish. Evenly spread the prepared marinade over both sides of each salmon fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
Allow the fish to absorb flavors
- Let the salmon marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes for a deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat
- Ensure your grill grates are clean; lightly oil them to prevent the salmon from sticking during cooking.
Grill the salmon to perfection
- Place the marinated salmon fillets, skin-side down (if applicable), on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the salmon is flaky and cooked through.
Rest the salmon before serving
- Once cooked, carefully remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful result.
Notes
For best results, ensure your grill grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking. Don't overcook the salmon; it should be flaky but still moist.
