Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup Olive oil
  • 3 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp Maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp Fresh dill
  • 1 clove Garlic (minced)
  • 3/4 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 4 6-oz Salmon fillets (skin on or off, about 1 inch thick)

Method
 

  1. Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, maple syrup, fresh parsley, fresh dill, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
  2. Pour the marinade into a gallon zip lock bag. Add the salmon fillets, seal the bag, and gently massage to coat the salmon evenly.
  3. Marinate the salmon for 30 minutes in the refrigerator, but no longer than 1 hour to prevent the fish from breaking down.
  4. Grill salmon over medium-high heat for 4-6 minutes per side, or bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, until cooked through and flaky.

Notes

- For best flavor, ensure your salmon marinates for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 1 hour, to prevent the lemon juice from 'cooking' the fish.
- If grilling, ensure your grill grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking. Cook salmon to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for perfect doneness.
- Leftover cooked salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It reheats well gently in the oven at 300°F (150°C) until warmed through.
