Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Turn to coat the fillets evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Place the fillets on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Transfer the grilled salmon to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
