Ingredients
– 4 skinless salmon fillets (6 to 7 ounces each)
– 1/4 cup lemon juice
– 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for brushing grill
– 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
– 4 teaspoons finely minced fresh rosemary
– 2 teaspoons finely minced fresh thyme
– 2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
– 2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
– 1 teaspoon honey
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1-First, place the salmon fillets in an 11 by 7-inch dish. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, rosemary, thyme, garlic, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. Then, pour the marinade over the salmon, lifting the fillets to let it get underneath. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, turning once halfway through to ensure even flavoring.
2-Next, preheat your grill to medium-high heat during the last 10 minutes of marinating. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Once ready, remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the grill. Grill for about 3 to 5 minutes per side until cooked through, allowing a little pink in the center if you prefer it moist.
3-After grilling, serve the salmon warm, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon slices if desired. This method keeps the fish tender and full of flavor.
