Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat grill to medium-high (375°F). Mix 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl. Brush half of the mixture over both sides of 4 salmon fillets.
  2. Step 2: Place 2 lemon slices on each fillet, then sprinkle with 3 tablespoons chopped dill and 2 tablespoons chopped parsley. Rub the remaining oil mixture over the top of each fillet.
  3. Step 3: Place salmon on the grill, skin-side down if skin is on. Grill for 8-10 minutes, turning once halfway, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Step 4: Remove from grill and let rest for 3 minutes. Serve immediately with remaining lemon slices on the side.
