Instructions
- Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper.
- Place the salmon fillets in a suitable marinating dish or Ziploc bag. Pour over the marinade and allow to marinate while you heat the grill. The salmon can also be left to marinate for up to 2 hours in the fridge.
- Preheat an outdoor grill/braai/barbecue on its hottest setting for 5 minutes.
- Fold up a few sheets of paper towels then dip into oil and with tongs, rub onto the grill grates.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade and place skin-side down on the grill. Allow to cook for 3-4 minutes or until the skin is golden and crisp.
- Gently flip over and cook for another minute or two then remove from the heat and allow to rest.
- To make the sauce, Combine chopped capers, lemon juice and zest, garlic and herbs in a bowl and add a few tablespoons of oil. Season with salt and pepper then serve with the grilled salmon.
