Ingredients
To keep it from falling apart keep the skin on two salmon fillets (approximately 150-200g each).
One lemon’s zest
One lemon’s juice
Two tablespoons of freshly chopped dill
Two tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley and two minced garlic cloves
Two teaspoons of olive oil
To taste, add salt and pepper.
Directions
- Set your grill’s temperature to medium-high.
- Make a marinade in a small bowl by combining the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and salt and pepper.
- After placing the salmon fillets in a shallow tray, cover them with the marinade. Make sure the coating is uniform on the fillets. Give them 15 to 30 minutes to marinade.
- After taking the salmon out of the marinade, put it skin side up on the hot grill. The salmon should be cooked to your preferred doneness after grilling for around 4–5 minutes on each side. The leftover marinade can also be used to baste the salmon while it’s grilling.
- After the salmon has finished grilling, take it from the heat and let it a few minutes to rest.
- Serve the grilled salmon with quinoa, a fresh salad, or roasted veggies on the side.

Avoid microwaving, as it can dry out the fish. For longer storage, freeze the cooked salmon in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
