Grilled Salmon with Fresh Herbs

Salmon is the healthiest fish that we should include in our meals at least twice a week. I share here a simple marinade for salmon with fresh herbs, which will make this recipe hard to resist, especially because there are tremendous health benefits come with it. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
Two 6 oz salmon fillets
Marinade:
1 tbs fresh basil, chopped
1 tbs fresh thyme, chopped
1 tbs fresh oregano, chopped
1 tbs fresh parsley, chopped
1 tbs chopped onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 tbs olive oil
2 tsp butter

Directions:
In a mixing bowl, whisk all the marinade ingredients together, except the butter. Place salmon fillets into the marinade and let sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Bring the salmon into room temperature. Remove salmon from the marinade and reserve the marinade for basting while grilling the salmon.
Salmon can be grilled outdoors on high heat or over a stovetop burner on a cast iron pan.
Preheat the outdoor grill on high heat. Spray the grill grate with cooking oil. Grill salmon for 5 minutes on each side, basting with reserved marinade.
If using a cast iron pan:
Place cast iron pan over high heat. Spray with some oil and butter. Place salmon onto the hot pan. Cook salmon for 5 minutes on each side, basting with reserved marinade. Serve with your choice of vegetables.
