Equipment
- Outdoor grill or grill pan
- Tongs or fish spatula
- Mixing bowl
- Basting brush
- Knife and cutting board
- Plate for resting
Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets about 180g each
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme optional
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the marinade
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, salt, and black pepper. This simple marinade is fresh, bright, and full of flavor.
Step 2: Prep the salmon
- Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels. This helps the fish grill properly. Brush the marinade generously over both sides of the salmon.
Step 3: Preheat the grill
- Heat your grill to medium-high. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4: Grill the salmon
- Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill. Let it cook undisturbed for about 5–6 minutes. This helps develop that slightly crispy texture.
- Flip carefully and cook for another 4–5 minutes until the salmon is cooked through but still moist.
Step 5: Finish and serve
- Remove from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle fresh parsley and thyme on top and serve with extra lemon wedges.
