Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound (450 g) fresh salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) dried herbs like dill or thyme
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) low-sodium soy sauce

Method
 

  1. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried herbs, and soy sauce in a bowl.
  2. Arrange the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag, coat them with the marinade, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, aiming for a temperature between 375°F and 400°F.
  4. Lift the salmon from the marinade, allow the excess to drip off, and grill skin-side down for 6 to 8 minutes per side.
  5. Verify the doneness by ensuring the salmon flakes easily while remaining slightly translucent in the center.
  6. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the salmon and serve.

Notes

Herb Selection: I love using dried dill or oregano for this marinade, but if you have fresh rosemary in your garden, it adds a wonderful earthy depth that pairs perfectly with the lemon.
