Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried herbs (like dill or thyme)
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried herbs, and soy sauce.
  2. Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag; pour marinade over them and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 400°F).
  4. Remove salmon from marinade and let excess drip off; grill skin-side down for 6-8 minutes per side.
  5. Check doneness; the salmon should flake easily yet remain slightly translucent in the center.
  6. Serve with any remaining marinade drizzled on top.

Notes

Use high-quality fresh salmon for the best flavor.

For more intense flavor, marinate overnight.

Consider using a fish basket if your grill grates are wide apart.
