Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Pat dry 4 pieces of Tasmanian salmon fillets and season both sides with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp lemon myrtle powder.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and 1 tbsp honey until well combined to create a glaze.
  3. Step 3: Brush the salmon fillets generously on all sides with half of the lemon myrtle glaze. Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving, until grill marks appear and the edges start to crisp.
  4. Step 4: Flip the salmon gently and brush the fillets with the remaining glaze. Grill for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the top. Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges for squeezing.
