Summertime is the perfect time for a grilled dinner. Start with a quick garlic herb marinade of salmon filets and then grill for 10 minutes. A great side dish is grilled asparagus. You can add potatoes or a wonderful fresh salad to complete your meal. As usual, crusty bread or rolls completes this fast and tasty meal that also provides great nutrition for your family.
The marinade based on olive oil only takes minutes to make. Add lemon juice and red wine vinegar for a tangy taste and tender salmon. The addition of garlic, basil, parsley and rosemary add delicious flavor to the dish. Place salmon in a zip lock bag and pour marinade over fish. Place in refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes. Grill for 10 minutes and your delicious salmon is ready.

thanks Paul – I hope your week is wonderful.
I can see how that would work for me Carol. It’s just that Mrs Phil is not to keen on Salmon and would not entertain it with garlic.
How about grilled salmon for you and another meat grilled for her?
This looks delicious and I am a big salmon lover. Thanks for another delicious Carol 🙂
Sounds delicious and something you can do on the bbq x #mmbc
I have some salmon in the fridge and was undecided what to do with it. This marinade sounds perfect and I have all the ingredients bar the fresh parsley.
just use dried parsley then
Ohh! This sounds like a perfect meal for the summer. It looks and sounds delicious x
This is one tasty salmon dinner!! I loved your homemade marinade… and your seasoning blend!
That sounds delicious! I love salmon but never think of grilling it; does it fall apart on the grill?
not if it isn’t marinated too long and grilled too long, it should be ok
I did end up grilling our salmon last night (not this recipe because I was missing some ingredients) but it was much easier to grill than I thought. I will definitely be adding this recipe to our menu for next month.
fresh salmon is usually firm and easy to grill – hope you like the recipe!
I’m a big fan of salmon and make it often. this looks like a wonderful marinade, Carol, and a quick and easy one.
I like having several recipes like a mariinade so I can switch up my meals. I’m glad you like it.
Carol, this looks so yummy! We’ve been trying to eat more fish, so I’m really glad to get this recipe. I’ve pinned it for future reference.
Thanks so much for joining the Grace at Home party at Imparting Grace. I’m featuring you this week!
thanks for the pin and feature!
