This easy Lemon Herb Marinade can be whipped up in 10 minutes. Zesty herbs and simple ingredients work together to elevate chicken, fish or pork. Feel free to switch up the herbs you use in this Lemon Herb Marinade. For example, for a lemon-rosemary marinade, consider substituting parsley for the basil and rosemary for the thyme. A good rule of thumb when mixing up marinades is, for fish, chicken and pork, light herbal notes tend to work well. This lemon and herb marinade is not to be missed.

FRESH HERB & LEMON MARINADE



Fresh Herb & Lemon Marinade image

Yet another marinade recipe I got from an old issue of Food & Wine. I love this one with chicken and fish. Don't marinate fish too long in this, though - the acid from the lemon juice will start to "cook" it. No more than an hour or so. This marinade is especially nice in the summer when fresh herbs are so abundant.

HERB GARDEN MARINADE FOR LAMB



Herb Garden Marinade for Lamb image

I love the taste of fresh herbs with lamb. Use this marinade recipe as a guide, or adjust to your own tastes. Love mint? Add more. Hate oregano? Leave it out and add more of the other herbs. There is enough marinade for about 3 pounds of lamb chops. Double or triple it for a leg of lamb roast.

⅔ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
3 sprigs fresh rosemary, or more to taste
1 medium lemon, sliced

Steps:

  • Pour olive oil into a 1-gallon (or larger) resealable bag. Add salt and pepper and stir to combine. Stir in oregano, mint, and parsley until evenly distributed.

Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half.
  • Make sure to marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will give the herbs and spices time to penetrate the meat and flavor it.
  • If you're using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat before grilling the meat. This will help to prevent the meat from sticking to the grill and will also help to create a nice char.
  • Baste the meat with the marinade while it's grilling. This will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Lemon-mint herb marinade is a versatile and delicious way to flavor meat. It's perfect for chicken, beef, pork, and lamb. The marinade is easy to make and can be used for grilling, roasting, or baking. With its bright citrus flavor and refreshing mint, lemon-mint herb marinade is sure to be a hit at your next barbecue or dinner party.
