Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets approximately 6 ounces each
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- fresh lemon wedges for garnish
- chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prep the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper and mix well to form a marinade.
- Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors soak in.
- Preheat the Grill: While the salmon is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat and brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Salmon: Once the grill is hot, remove the salmon from the marinade and place it skin-side down on the grill, close the lid and grill for about 5-6 minutes or until you see grill marks.
- Flip and Serve: Carefully flip the salmon using a wide spatula and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes, until cooked through and flaky, then remove from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Serve with fresh lemon wedges and a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a vibrant touch.
