Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 1 whole lemon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). If using a grill pan indoors, lightly oil the pan and preheat it over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season each side with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and dill. Zest the lemon and add the zest to the herb mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Brush the herb mixture generously over both sides of each salmon fillet, reserving a small amount for later.

Step 5

Cut the lemon in half and set it aside for later grilling or for squeezing fresh juice over the salmon after cooking.

Step 6

Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin side down if applicable. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

While the salmon is cooking, place the halved lemon on the grill, cut side down, and grill until charred (about 3-4 minutes).

Step 8

Once the salmon is cooked through, remove it from the grill. Drizzle with the reserved herb mixture and a squeeze of the grilled lemon juice.

Step 9

Serve immediately with additional lemon wedges and your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or rice.
