Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil

- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Rinse and pat dry the salmon fillets using paper towels. Set them aside on a plate.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Brush the marinade mixture generously over both sides of the salmon fillets. Cover the salmon with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the hot grill. Close the lid and grill for 4-5 minutes.
Step 6
Carefully flip the salmon fillets and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the grill and transfer it to a serving platter. Garnish each fillet with a slice of lemon.
Step 8
Serve the grilled herbed salmon hot with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or steamed rice. Enjoy!
