This grilled lemon herb salmon recipe is perfect for a summer day BBQ or a simple weeknight dinner. The marinade infuses the salmon with a tangy and herby flavor that pairs perfectly with the tender and flaky fish. It's a crowd-pleaser that's easy to make and full of fresh, vibrant flavors.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, chives, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure to coat each fillet evenly.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to marinate into the salmon.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place on the grill, skin side down.
  6. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy the juicy and flavorful grilled lemon herb salmon.
