Ingredients
  

Salmon and Marinade
  • 4 fillets fresh salmon skinless and boneless
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin for best flavor
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice about 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, dill, parsley, minced garlic, and black pepper. This will create a flavorful marinade for the salmon.
  2. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the fish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Serve immediately, garnished with additional lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

Renal Diet Tips: Using fresh herbs and citrus adds flavor without increasing sodium levels. Be mindful of portion sizes, as salmon is a good source of protein but should be balanced with other protein sources throughout the day.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop. This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a light salad for a kidney-friendly meal.
