Servings: 4 people
Calories: 228kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb (500g) salmon (top loin, loin or second cut)
- lemon wedges for serving
Marinade:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon chopped Italian basil
- 1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 dashes ground black pepper
Instructions
- Mix all the Marinade ingredients in a bowl, stir to mix well.
- Marinate the salmon with the Marinade for 20 minutes.
- Heat up a gas grill to medium heat, at 350°F (176°C). Remove the marinated salmon from the Marinade and place it on top of the gas grill. Place the salmon, skin side down at a 45 degree angle to form beautiful char marks.
- Grill the salmon for 4 minutes, uninterrupted. Turn the salmon over and grill for another 4 minutes, uninterrupted. Baste with the remaining Marinade mixture while grilling.
- Depending on the type of salmon cuts you use, you might need to grill it for longer (or shorter) time. The salmon is cooked when white stuff starts to seep out from the inside. If the salmon is not cooked yet but already charred, move the salmon to the indirect heat side of the gas grill.
- Cover the lid and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the inside is completely cooked through. Remove from the grill and serve immediately with lemon wedges, dill sauce, or sweet chili sauce.
