Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 whole lemon
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

1. In a small bowl, mince the garlic cloves and zest one lemon. Combine garlic, lemon zest, the juice of both lemons, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

2. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the salmon is coated evenly. Refrigerate and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to 1 hour.

Step 3

3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

4. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it skin-side down on the grill. Discard the leftover marinade.

Step 5

5. Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and appears opaque throughout.

Step 6

6. Transfer the grilled salmon to a serving plate and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.

Step 7

7. Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad, for a complete meal.
