Easy Grilled Citrus Salmon Fillets

This recipe features salmon fillets marinated in a zesty citrus mixture, then grilled to perfection. The grilling process enhances the flavors, creating a delicious meal that takes about 20 minutes to prepare and cook, serving 4 people.

Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme or dill (optional)
Lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme or dill if using.
Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

Grill the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-6 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.
Serve: Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with lemon slices if desired, and serve hot.
