Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, about 400°F. Pat dry 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) and brush both sides with 2 tbsp olive oil.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp lemon zest to make the citrus herb sauce.
  3. Step 3: Place the salmon on the grill, skin-side down if applicable, and grill for 4-5 minutes without moving, until grill marks form and the fish releases easily.
  4. Step 4: Flip the salmon and grill for another 3-4 minutes until opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Step 5: Remove salmon from the grill and spoon the citrus herb sauce generously over the top before serving immediately with your choice of sides.
