Here’s how to make and use the Lemon Herb Salmon Marinade:

1. Prepare Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dill, parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Marinate Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
3. Refrigerate: Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For stronger flavor, marinate for up to 2 hours.
4. Preheat Oven or Grill: If oven cooking, preheat to 400°F (200°C). If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
5. Remove from Marinade: Take the salmon out of the marinade and shake off any excess.
6. Cook Salmon:
– For Grill: Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
– For Oven: Place the fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through.
7. Serve: Once cooked, remove from the grill or oven and let rest for a few minutes. Optionally garnish with additional fresh herbs and lemon wedges.

With these straightforward steps, you’ll create a tantalizing lemon herb salmon meal.
