Ingredients:
2 fresh salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Lemon wedges, for garnish
Fresh herbs (like parsley or dill), for garnish
Directions:
Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, and thyme. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, making sure they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F or 190-200°C). Oil the grill grates with a paper towel dipped in oil to prevent the salmon from sticking.
