1
Marinate the Salmon
In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the salmon is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). If using a charcoal grill, prepare the coals until they are covered with ash.
3
Prepare the Grill Grates
Oil the grill grates lightly with a paper towel dipped in oil to prevent sticking.
4
Grill the Salmon
Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 5-6 minutes, then carefully flip the salmon using a spatula. Grill the other side for another 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F).
5
Serve
Once grilled, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh dill or parsley. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
