| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a medium bowl or zip-top plastic bag, combine the dry white wine, olive oil, thyme leaves, ground mustard, basil leaves, finely chopped onion, and white pepper. Mix well to create the marinade. |
| 2 | Place the salmon fillets in the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl or seal the bag, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, turning the fillets occasionally to ensure they marinate evenly. |
| 3 | Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. |
| 4 | Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. |
| 5 | Place the marinated salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side down. Spoon a generous amount of marinade over the top of each fillet to ensure they stay moist and flavorful during grilling. |
| 6 | Grill the salmon for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked to your desired level of doneness. Use a spatula to carefully flip the fillets halfway through grilling. |
| 7 | Once the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, remove it from the grill and transfer it to a serving platter. |
| 8 | Just before serving, sprinkle the grilled salmon with fresh lemon juice to add a burst of citrusy flavor. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious taste of springtime! |
Notes:
- Feel free to adjust the seasoning and herbs according to your personal taste preferences.
- For an extra touch of freshness, garnish the grilled salmon with additional chopped herbs or lemon slices before serving.
