Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 4 fillets salmon skin-on for better flavor
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin for enhanced flavor
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, can substitute with other herbs
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed for the best taste
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, parsley, dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill basket or foil, prepare it to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the salmon skin-side down for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Renal Diet Tips: Using fresh herbs instead of salt enhances flavor without increasing sodium intake. Opt for wild-caught salmon for a cleaner source of omega-3 fatty acids, beneficial for heart health.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to maintain texture. Be mindful of portion sizes to keep within your dietary limits.
