Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 sprigs (finely chopped) fresh rosemary
- 1 (juiced and zested) lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 4 (for serving) lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry using paper towels. Set them aside.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 3
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the salmon marinate for 10-15 minutes while you preheat the grill.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Once the grill is hot, place the salmon fillets skin side down on the grill. Discard any remaining marinade.
Step 6
Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes on the first side, then carefully flip using a spatula. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 8
Serve the grilled salmon hot with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness. Optionally, garnish with additional rosemary sprigs.
