Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon zest, 1 tbsp orange zest, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 2 tbsp orange juice to create a marinade.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure each fillet is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Oil the grill grates lightly.
  4. Step 4: Remove salmon from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill fillets skin-side down for 5-6 minutes until grill marks form and skin is crisp.
  5. Step 5: Flip carefully and grill for another 3-4 minutes until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Step 6: Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
