Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on fresh salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs (dill or thyme)
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, dried herbs, and soy sauce until well combined.
  2. Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F/200°C), ensuring grates are clean and lightly oiled.
  4. Grill salmon skin-side down for about 6-8 minutes per side, flipping only once until cooked through.
  5. Check doneness by ensuring the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of about 145°F (63°C). Serve immediately.

Notes

For enhanced flavor, marinate the salmon overnight.
Consider using wild-caught varieties like King or Sockeye for richer taste.
Pair with sides such as quinoa or a fresh garden salad for a balanced meal.
