👩🍳 Instructions
-
1
Pat salmon fillets very dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, parsley, thyme, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, and smoked paprika (if using).
-
2
Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Place in a shallow dish, pour marinade over, and arrange lemon slices on top. Let marinate for 20-30 minutes at room temperature.
-
3
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400°F / 200°C). Clean grates thoroughly and oil them with a paper towel dipped in vegetable oil.
-
4
Place salmon fillets, skin-side down (if applicable), on the hot grates. Grill for 4-6 minutes per side, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
-
5
Carefully transfer cooked salmon to a serving platter and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired.
💡 Notes
For best results, use fresh, high-quality salmon. If you don't have an outdoor grill, a grill pan or baking can be used. Avoid over-marinating with lemon juice to prevent the fish from becoming 'cooked' before grilling.
