Healthy Seafood Recipes for Weight Loss: Lemon Herb Grilled Salmon

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 lemon, sliced (for garnish)
• Fresh herbs, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create a marinade.
2. Place the salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium heat and lightly oil the surface.
4. Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill or grill pan.
5. Grill the salmon for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
6. Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve garnished with fresh lemon slices and additional herbs.
