Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 salmon fillets
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Oils and Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Fire up your grill to 400°F, creating a medium-high heat zone that will perfectly sear the salmon.
- Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper into a smooth marinade.
- Coat both sides of your 2 salmon fillets generously with the prepared marinade, ensuring every inch gets delicious flavor.
- Position the salmon skin-side down on the hot grill grates to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
- Grill the fillets for 4 minutes without moving them, allowing beautiful grill marks to develop.
- Carefully flip the salmon and continue grilling for another 4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2-3 minutes to seal in the juices.
- Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the fillets for a bright, herbal finish that adds color and freshness.
Notes
- Pat the salmon dry before seasoning to help the marinade stick better and create a nice crust.
- Check the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 145°F for perfectly cooked fish that’s moist and flaky.
- For a dairy-free or gluten-free option, this recipe already meets those dietary requirements naturally.
- If grilling isn’t possible, you can achieve similar results by baking the salmon in a 400°F oven for 12-15 minutes.
