Let’s fire up something tasty! Preheat your grill to medium-high—about 400°F (200°C). If you’re using a grill pan inside, that’s cool too—just get it nice and hot!
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, parsley, dill, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. It’s like a little herb party—smells so fresh already!
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel—keeps ‘em from sticking. Brush that herby mix all over the top (and sides if you’re feeling extra). Press it in a bit so it sticks like a crust—yum!
Oil up the grill grates (or your pan) so nothing sticks. Lay the salmon down—skin side first if it’s got skin. Hear that sizzle? Oh yeah, we’re in business!
Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on how thick your fillets are. You want it flaky but still juicy—look for 145°F (63°C) inside if you’re checking. Don’t overcook it; we’re going for perfection here!
Carefully flip it once—those herbs will look so golden and gorgeous. When it’s done, slide it off the grill onto a plate. Give it a minute to rest—it deserves it!
Serve it up hot with a lemon wedge on the side—squeeze it right over for that fresh pop. Pair it with a salad, some roasted veggies, or just eat it straight off the plate. This is light, flavorful, and oh-so-good—dig in!
