Grilled Salmon with Roasted Lemon
Description:
This dish features two tender, perfectly grilled salmon fillets, each with a caramelized slice of lemon on top, adding a bright, citrusy contrast to the rich, savory fish. Lightly seasoned and expertly seared to golden perfection, the salmon maintains a juicy, flaky interior and a slightly crisp outer crust.
Ingredients:
-
2 salmon fillets (about 150g each)
-
1 lemon (thinly sliced)
-
Olive oil
-
Salt and black pepper
-
Garlic powder (optional)
-
Fresh herbs (e.g., thyme or parsley) for garnish
Preparation Method:
-
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
-
Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder.
-
Place a thin lemon slice on top of each fillet.
-
Grill the fillets skin-side down for about 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until the fish is opaque and the lemon begins to caramelize.
-
Serve hot, garnished with herbs if desired.
This dish is ideal for those seeking a healthy yet flavorful option that highlights the natural richness of salmon with a touch of citrus complexity.
