Lemon-herb grilled fish is the kind of dish that feels special but is easy to make. Fresh lemon, garlic, and herbs give it a bright, fresh flavour, while the grill adds a gentle smokiness. The fish stays tender and flaky, with just the right amount of char. It’s got a fresh, balanced taste that feels both light and comforting; just right for a simple meal that still makes an impression.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish so they sit comfortably without overlapping.
This helps the marinade reach every side and lets the flavours soak in evenly.

Step 3: Marinate
Pour the marinade over the salmon fillets, lifting each fillet slightly so it coats underneath too.
Cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Let it soak up the flavours, turning the fillets once halfway through.

Step 4: Heat and prep the grill
Preheat the grill to medium-high during the final 10 minutes of the marinating time.
Lightly brush the grates with olive oil so the salmon doesn’t stick.
