I’ll never forget the first time I tried grilling salmon. It was a complete disaster! The fish stuck to the grates, fell apart, and tasted more like charcoal than salmon. But, hey, we live and learn, right? After a few (okay, maybe more than a few) attempts, I finally nailed it. Now, grilling salmon is one of my favorite ways to prepare it, especially when paired with fresh, crisp green beans and a vibrant lemon-garlic sauce. One tip is making sure your grill is really hot and your fish is patted dry, it’s honestly game-changing!
What I love most about this Lemon Garlic Grilled Salmon recipe is its simplicity. It requires minimal ingredients, comes together in under 30 minutes, and delivers a burst of flavor that's hard to resist. Plus, it’s packed with nutrients, making it a healthy and satisfying meal you can feel good about serving to your family. Green beans are a personal favorite of mine, a little olive oil and seasoning brings them to the next level!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon Fillets: Begin by patting the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a beautiful sear on the grill.
- Make the Lemon Garlic Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Make sure the garlic is finely minced to evenly distribute its flavor.
- Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the lemon garlic marinade over them. Turn the fillets to ensure they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Don’t marinate for too long, as the lemon juice can start to ‘cook’ the fish.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-200°C). Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. A hot grill is essential for getting those nice grill marks and a crispy exterior.
- Prepare the Green Beans: While the grill is heating, trim the ends off the green beans and place them in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and toss to coat evenly.
- Grill the Salmon: Place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down (if they have skin) on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking, as it can become dry.
- Grill the Green Beans: Arrange the green beans on the grill grates alongside the salmon. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender-crisp and slightly charred. Watch them carefully to prevent burning.
- Serve: Once the salmon and green beans are grilled to perfection, remove them from the grill. Place the salmon on a plate, arrange the green beans alongside, and garnish with fresh lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
📝 Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Serve with a side of quinoa or brown rice for a complete meal.
