🥘Ingredients

For the Marinade

1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

For the Salmon

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
lemon slices
fresh herbs for garnish

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, basil, salt, and black pepper.
2Mix well to combine.
3Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the fillets.
4Ensure each fillet is well coated.
5Cover the dish and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
6Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
7This should take about 5-10 minutes.
8You should see visible grill marks on the salmon fillets when it is done.
9Remove the salmon from the marinade and shake off any excess.
10Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill.
11Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque about 3/4 of the way up the side.
12Then flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
13During the last 2 minutes of cooking, place lemon slices on top of the fillets.
14This will add a burst of flavor and help keep the salmon moist.
15Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
16This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the fillet.
17Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.
