Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets Salmon fillets Skin-on, about 6 oz each
  • 2 whole Limes One juiced, one cut into wedges
  • 2 tbsp Fresh dill Finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley Finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp Olive oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper Freshly ground

Instructions
 

  • Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels. Let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes prior to grilling.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, juice of one lime, minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped parsley, kosher salt, and black pepper.
  • Lightly brush the flesh side of the salmon with the herb and lime marinade. Avoid getting the skin wet to ensure it crisps properly.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Clean the grates thoroughly and generously oil them to prevent the fish from sticking.
  • Place the salmon fillets on the grill skin-side down. Close the lid and cook undisturbed for 6 to 8 minutes, until the skin is crispy and releases naturally from the grates.
  • Gently flip the salmon using a thin spatula and cook the flesh side for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F for medium doneness.
  • Remove the salmon from the grill, let it rest for 5 minutes, and serve hot with the remaining lime wedges.
