Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

4 garlic cloves, minced

4 (4 oz) salmon fillets

1 1/2 tsp garlic salt

1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

1 tbsp chopped fresh basil

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Set aside a few tablespoons of this mixture for basting.

Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Sprinkle minced garlic on top, then brush with the reserved oil-vinegar mixture. Turn the fillets over to coat both sides evenly. Season with garlic salt.

Sprinkle chopped cilantro and basil over the salmon. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.

While the salmon is marinating, preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat. About 6 inches away from the heat source.

Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade.

Grill the salmon for about 10-12 minutes, turning once and brushing occasionally with the reserved oil-vinegar mixture. This will create a nicely browned crust while ensuring the fish remains tender inside.

Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful Mediterranean-inspired dish.
