Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces or 170 g each), skin on
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring all sides are coated. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
  4. Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Place fillets skin-side down on the grill.
  5. Grill for 6-8 minutes. Flip carefully using a fish spatula and grill for an additional 4-6 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  6. Transfer grilled salmon to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
