Equipment
- 1 large bowl
- 1 whisk
- 1 grill or grill pan
- 1 measuring spoons
- 1 measuring cups
- 1 fish spatula
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets Each fillet should be approximately 6 ounces.
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley Chopped.
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil Chopped.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- as needed pieces lemon wedges For serving.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the salmon fillets to the marinade, coating them well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook the salmon for about 5 minutes, then carefully flip using a fish spatula.
- Grill for an additional 2-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the salmon from the grill and let rest for a couple of minutes. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
You can substitute the fresh herbs with dried herbs if necessary; use about one-third of the amount as dried herbs are more concentrated.
Pair the grilled salmon with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
This dish can be prepared in advance; just marinate the salmon the night before and grill when ready to serve.
