Description
A quick and healthy grilled salmon recipe that’s flaky, flavorful, and feels restaurant-worthy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (skin-on), about 6 ounces each
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (optional)
- Fresh dill or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Pat the salmon dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper. Rub lightly with olive oil.
- In a small bowl, mix lemon juice, zest, minced garlic, honey, and soy sauce. Stir in olive oil.
- Let the salmon sit in the marinade for 10 to 30 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, oil the grates, and place the salmon skin-side down.
- Grill skin-side down for about 4 to 6 minutes, then carefully flip and grill for another 2 to 4 minutes until it flakes easily.
- Remove from the grill and let it rest for a minute. Top with fresh herbs and a squeeze of lemon.
Notes
For a smoky flavor, try grilling on a cedar plank. Marinate the salmon up to 30 minutes ahead.
