Ingredients

• 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
• 1 large lemon (zested and juiced)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

How to Make Lemon Herb Grilled Salmon with Potato Ribbons

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This will be your marinade.
3. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the potatoes.
4. Using a mandoline or a vegetable peeler, slice the potatoes into thin ribbons. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
5. In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the potato ribbons and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly crispy.
6. While the potatoes are cooking, grill the marinated salmon fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.
7. To serve, place a generous portion of potato ribbons on each plate, top with the grilled salmon, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your grill is preheated to achieve those beautiful grill marks.
• Don’t skip the marinating step; it infuses the salmon with incredible flavor.
• For a crispier texture, ensure the potato ribbons are dried thoroughly before cooking.

Easy Variations

• Swap the salmon for other fish like trout or tilapia.
• Add a splash of white wine to the marinade for an extra layer of flavor.
• Experiment with fresh herbs like dill or basil instead of dried.

What to Serve With It

• A light green salad with vinaigrette.
• Steamed asparagus or green beans for a pop of color.
• Quinoa or couscous for a hearty side.
