1
Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2
Marinate the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure that the fillets are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-204°C).
4
Grill the Salmon
Remove the salmon from the marinade and place the fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 4-6 minutes on the first side.
5
Flip and Finish Cooking
Using a spatula, carefully flip the salmon fillets. Grill for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

6
Garnish and Serve
Remove the grilled salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh dill or parsley before serving. Enjoy your grilled salmon with your choice of sides!
