Grilled Salmon Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Lemon wedges, for serving
- Fresh herbs (such as parsley or dill), for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried oregano.
- Marinate the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
- Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated.
- Let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
- Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Salmon:
- Remove the salmon from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
- Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin side down if your fillets have skin.
- Grill for about 4-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The salmon should easily flake with a fork when done.
- Serve:
- Transfer the grilled salmon to a serving platter.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
- Enjoy:
- Pair your grilled salmon with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or rice.
