1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup canola oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon fine sea salt

1
Combine all Marinade ingredients in a 1-gallon ziplock plastic freezer bag. Set aside 1/4 cup of the marinade. Add lamb to marinade in bag. Gently massage bag until lamb is well coated in marinade. Seal bag, squeezing out excess air. Lay bag flat on a small rimmed baking sheet, and place in refrigerator. Chill 3 hours, turning bag once or twice.
2
Remove from refrigerator, and let stand 40 minutes.
3
Preheat grill to medium-high (400u00b0F to 450u00b0F). Remove lamb from marinade; reserve marinade. Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Grill lamb, uncovered, on lightly oiled grill grates until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest portion registers 135u00b0F, about 8 minutes per side, basting occasionally with reserved marinade from bag.
4
Let lamb stand 10 minutes. Slice and serve with reserved 1/4 cup marinade.
