Instructions
1
In a medium bowl or a zip-top plastic bag, whisk together the dry white wine, olive oil, thyme leaves, ground mustard, garlic salt, basil leaves, minced onion, and white pepper until well combined.
2
Place the salmon fillets in the marinade, ensuring they’re evenly coated. Cover the bowl or seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes, turning the salmon occasionally to allow for even marination.
3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
4
Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, but reserve the marinade for basting.
5
Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side down. Spoon enough of the reserved marinade over the top of each fillet to keep them moist during cooking.
6
Grill the salmon for about 4-6 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking.
7
Just before serving, drizzle the grilled salmon with fresh lemon juice for an extra burst of flavor.
