    Grilled salmon is made easy and flavorful with a simple four-ingredient orange herb marinade (you probably have the ingredients in your kitchen already!).

    I love to encourage my clients to experiment and get playful with their food. Have fun with it! Try new foods or try preparing foods in different ways! Maybe you don't love the raw onions in your salad, but grilled with fajitas is a total game-changer!

    Grilled salmon is one of those things that I always have enjoyed it while out at a restaurant and I adore cooking salmon in the skillet, I had one disastrous grilling attempt years ago (envision salmon totally falling apart all over the grill and through the grates), and have since foregone grilling salmon at home.

    Well, I'm not sure why I waited so long to try it again. This grilled salmon with a four ingredient orange herb marinade could not be any easier! And I don't know if you can tell by the photos, but this grilled salmon turned out awesome.

    The key is not to have the heat turned too high. This time I kept the grill at more of a medium heat, between 350-400 degrees. I left the salmon on one side for 3-4 minutes, then used a grill spatula to gently turn it over for another 3-4 minutes. (In my experience, when the protein is ready to be turned it will come off the grates for more easily.) It couldn't get easier!

    The other thing that couldn't get any easier with this grilled salmon is the orange herb marinade. It's just four ingredients that most of you probably have in your house right now! Marinate for 1-2 hours, then it's grill time!

      This looks so good! I am always looking for new ways to make salmon. We don't have a grill right now so I am hoping I don't burn it too much making it in the oven!

        I haven't tried this recipe specifically in the oven, but I bet you could cook in at 350 for around 8-10 minutes? Depends on size/ thickness of your salmon. Or even cook in a cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat! Let me know how it goes if you try it with either of those methods! 🙂

        Hi Evie! That should work fine! I cook salmon in a nonstick and in a cast iron skillet with a little avocado or coconut oil all the time! Hope you and your niece enjoy it!

      Your reply to Lindsay contains a superfluous question mark, annoyingly unnecessary exclamation points, and two sentence fragments. Your reply to Evie is missing a comma after the word "Hi," again annoys with the exclamation points, and "all the time" should be placed after "I cook salmon". I didn't read the rest of the page. I don't think that I could stand to.

        Hi, Bob. I completely relate. I couldn't stand reading your superfluous, annoyingly unnecessary comment. Also, the first commenter (from 2017) was Kelsey. I am LindsEy, not LindsAy. Make sure that you're error-free when jumping to be a self-righteous, critical troll; it'll help you land your delivery. Go touch some grass.
