Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp orange zest, 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets into a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, turning to coat evenly. 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 the salmon fillets skin-side down for 5-6 minutes until grill marks form and edges are slightly crisp.
  5. Step 5: Flip the fillets and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
