Ingredients
For the Salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Lemon slices, for garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
-
Marinate the Salmon: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator).
-
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, preheat it on the stovetop.
-
Grill the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
-
Serve: Transfer the grilled salmon to a serving platter. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, you can also sprinkle some fresh herbs, like dill or basil, over the salmon while grilling.
- Serve with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
