This delightful recipe showcases the natural richness of salmon, complemented by a zesty herb marinade that highlights its freshness. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special gathering, this dish is sure to impress!
Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- 1 lemon, sliced (for serving)
Preparation:
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the fillets are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Cooking Instructions:
- Preheat your grill or oven to 375°F (190°C).
- If using a grill, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. If baking, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Place the fillets on the grill or prepared baking sheet.
- Grill the salmon for about 4-5 minutes per side, or bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Once cooked, remove from heat and let rest for a couple of minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon slices on the side.
