Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 teaspoons (finely chopped) fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons (finely chopped) fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Step 2
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring all fillets are evenly coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 5
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the hot grill. Close the lid and cook for 5-6 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Step 6
Carefully flip the fillets using a fish spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Transfer the grilled salmon to a serving plate and let rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
Step 8
Serve with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, citrusy finish.
