Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-200°C).

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.

Pat salmon dry and place the salmon fillets on a large plate or baking dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, making sure to coat each fillet evenly. Allow the salmon to marinate for 15-30 minutes, depending on your preference.

Once the salmon has marinated, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill.

Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the salmon to keep it moist and tender.

Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

Enjoy the Grilled Salmon with a fresh strawberry salad or sweet corn succotash for a fresh spring meal that pairs perfectly with the Murrieta’s Well Rosé.
