Grilled Salmon with Lemon-Herb Sauce

Directions

• Prepare the Lemon-Herb Sauce:
• In a small food processor or blender, combine the parsley, dill, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and Dijon mustard.
• Pulse until well combined and the herbs are finely chopped. The sauce should be bright green and slightly chunky.
• Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Set aside.
• Prepare and Grill the Salmon:
• Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat until hot.
• Place the salmon fillets skin-side down (if applicable) on the hot grill. Cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and releases easily from the grates.
• Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until cooked through and easily flakes with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your fillets.
• Serve:
• Transfer the grilled salmon to serving plates.
• Spoon a generous amount of the lemon-herb sauce over each fillet.
• Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted asparagus, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.
