Zesty Herb Grilled Salmon (Olive Garden-Inspired) with Lemon-Garlic Broccoli

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. In a shallow dish or Ziploc bag, combine chopped parsley, dill, oregano, minced garlic, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add salmon, turning to coat. Marinate at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour.
2. 2

   While salmon marinates, prepare the broccoli. Wash and cut broccoli into florets. In a medium bowl, toss broccoli with 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using). Ensure all florets are lightly coated.
3. 3

   Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat (400-450°F / 200-230°C). If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high until smoking. Lightly oil the grill grates or grill pan to prevent sticking.
4. 4

   Carefully place marinated salmon fillets, skin-side down (if applicable), on the hot grill. Close the lid and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches 145°F (63°C) internal temperature.
5. 5

   While salmon is grilling, place seasoned broccoli florets on the grill grates in a grill basket, or spread on a baking sheet to roast. Grill for 8-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender-crisp and slightly charred. If roasting, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes.
6. 6

   Transfer the herb grilled salmon and lemon-garlic broccoli to plates. Garnish with extra fresh lemon wedges and serve immediately.
