1
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh dill or parsley. This will serve as the marinade for the salmon.
2
Marinate the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, prepare the coals until they are covered with white ash.
4
Prepare the Grill
Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent the salmon from sticking.
5
Grill the Salmon
Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it skin-side down on the grill. Lay lemon slices on top of the salmon for added flavor. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
6
Serve
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
