How to Make Lemon Grilled Salmon Or Chicken

  1. In a resealable container, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs salmon fillets (skin-on) or 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the marinade. Marinate for at least 1 hour, flipping halfway through.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Discard marinade.
  4. For salmon: Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Grill for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. For chicken: Grill chicken breasts for 18-22 minutes, turning halfway through, until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
