As a self-proclaimed meat lover, I never thought I’d fall in love with a fish dish. But then I tried Lemon Garlic Grilled Salmon, and boy, was I hooked! This dish is the perfect combination of tangy, savory, and buttery flavors, and it’s incredibly easy to make.

The history of grilled salmon goes back thousands of years, with indigenous people in the Pacific Northwest region of North America smoking and grilling the fish over open flames. Today, grilled salmon is enjoyed all over the world, and it’s easy to see why.

Working with the ingredients for this recipe is a breeze. The olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic combine to create a mouth-watering marinade that’s perfect for the rich, buttery salmon. And the lemon wedges and fresh parsley add a pop of color and flavor that’s sure to impress.

One of my fondest memories of eating this dish was at a family barbecue. We grilled the salmon on the back patio, and the aroma of garlic and lemon wafted through the air. The salmon was perfectly cooked, with a crispy crust and tender, flaky interior. We served it with a side of grilled vegetables and a cold beer, and it was the perfect summer meal.
