Ingredients
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp fresh-squeezed lemon juice (from about 1/2 small lemon)
1/8 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp ground turmeric
4 salmon filets, 3-4 oz each
Instructions
- Add the olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder and ground turmeric to a pint size mason jar or dressing bottle and shake vigorously until well combined.
- Add the salmon filets to a glass dish or gallon size plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon and marinate in the fridge for 30-60 minutes. Remove from the fridge and bring to room temperature about 10 minutes before grilling.
- Preheat your grill to medium (about 350ºF). Once heated, add the marinated salmon filets to the grill and close the lid. Discard any leftover marinade.
- Grill the salmon, with the lid closed, for 3-4 minutes, or until it begins to lighten in color and is firm to the touch. Flip and grill another 2-4 minutes, or until salmon reaches 130ºF and flakes easily with a fork. Thicker filets may require longer cooking times. Remove and rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.

Best served fresh, as salmon does not reheat well. However, room temperature leftover salmon is delicious on salads or with leftover grilled veggies!
