Ingredients

• •4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
• •2 tablespoons olive oil
• •2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• •2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
• •1 teaspoon lemon zest
• •1 teaspoon orange zest
• •2 cloves garlic, minced
• •1 teaspoon honey
• •1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• •1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
• •1 teaspoon salt
• •1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, lemon zest, orange zest, minced garlic, honey, chopped parsley, dill, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

2. 2

   Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.

3. 3

   Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring all sides of the fillets are coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, but no more than 1 hour.

4. 4

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

5. 5

   Remove the salmon from the marinade and allow excess marinade to drip off. Discard the used marinade.

6. 6

   Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down if applicable, and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

7. 7

   Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

8. 8

   Serve the grilled salmon with additional fresh dill or parsley as garnish if desired.
