Description
A quick and easy 15-minute grilled salmon recipe that delivers perfectly cooked, flavorful salmon fillets seasoned with garlic parsley salt and drizzled with olive or avocado oil. Ideal for a healthy weeknight dinner or a light, nutritious meal.
Ingredients
Seafood
- 2 lbs salmon fillet (skin on)
Seasonings
- 1 tbsp garlic parsley salt
Oils
- 1 tbsp oil (olive or avocado)
Instructions
- Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to a temperature between 375°F and 400°F to ensure it’s hot enough for cooking the salmon evenly without burning.
- Prepare the salmon: Slice the salmon fillet into serving-sized portions to make grilling and serving easier.
- Season the salmon: Drizzle the salmon pieces evenly with your choice of olive or avocado oil to help retain moisture and add richness. Sprinkle garlic parsley salt over the salmon to infuse it with savory herbal flavor.
- Grill the salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the hot grill. Cook each side for about 3 minutes, being careful not to flip too soon to prevent sticking. Grill until the internal temperature reaches 145°F, ensuring the salmon is cooked through but remains moist and tender.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the salmon from the grill and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use skin-on salmon for easier grilling and to help keep the fillets intact.
- Let the grill preheat fully to prevent sticking and to achieve perfect grill marks.
- Use a spatula designed for fish to flip the fillets gently.
- Check internal temperature with a meat thermometer for safe and precise cooking.
- Serve with fresh lemon wedges or a side salad for a balanced meal.
