♥ RECIPE & IMAGES BY: Andrea - Formerly "Hurried Health Nut" ♥ Freshly squeezed lemon juice and ground turmeric join forces for a bright and fresh Lemon Turmeric Grilled Salmon recipe that is AIP, Paleo and Whole-30 friendly. After 30 minutes of marinating time, this grilled salmon is ready in under 10 minutes. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp - extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp - fresh-squeezed lemon juice (from about 1/2 a small lemon)
  • 1/8 tsp - sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp - garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp - onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp - ground turmeric
  • 4 - salmon fillets, 3-4 oz each

Instructions

  1. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder and ground turmeric to a pint size mason jar or dressing bottle and shake vigorously until well combined.
  2. Place salmon fillets in a glass dish and pour the marinade over the top. Marinate in the fridge no longer than 30-60 minutes.
  3. Remove from the fridge and bring to room temperature, about 10 minutes before grilling.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium (about 350ºF). Once heated, gently place the marinated salmon fillets to the grill and close the lid. Discard any leftover marinade
  5. Grill the salmon, with the lid closed, for 3-4 minutes, or until it begins to lighten in color and is firm to the touch
  6. Flip and grill another 2-4 minutes, or until salmon reaches 130ºF and flakes easily with a fork. Thicker fillets may require longer cooking times
  7. Remove and rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.

Notes

Salmon is best served fresh, however, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It's delicious served cold atop a salad or leftover grilled veggies! If you're planning for leftovers, make extra marinade and keep it aside to be drizzled over your left overs (IMPORTANT: never use leftover marinade drained from raw meet - it should be discarded - you don’t want food poisoning!)

TIP: This Lemon Turmeric Marinade can be used as a salad dressing!
