Ingredients

• 4 salmon steaks
• 0.25 cup limoncello
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 lemon slices

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the limoncello, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, parsley, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the salmon steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, making sure each steak is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).

Step 3

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the salmon steaks from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and discard the marinade.

Step 5

Place the salmon steaks directly on the grill. Cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking to ensure a tender texture.

Step 6

During the last minute of grilling, place a lemon slice on top of each salmon steak and let it warm slightly for a burst of fresh lemon flavor.

Step 7

Remove the salmon steaks from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Let them rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Serve the grilled salmon steaks with a garnish of extra fresh dill or parsley, if desired.
