Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped oregano, 2 tbsp chopped parsley, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour, turning occasionally.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Oil the grill grates lightly.
  4. Step 4: Remove salmon from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill salmon skin-side down for 5-6 minutes until grill marks form and the skin crisps.
  5. Step 5: Flip salmon carefully and grill for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Step 6: Remove from grill and let rest 2 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
