1
Prepare the Salmon
Pat the salmon filet dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps in achieving a better grill mark and prevents sticking.
2
Season the Salmon
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Rub this mixture evenly over the salmon filet.
3
Prepare the Lemon
Cut the lemon in half. One half will be used for squeezing over the salmon while grilling, and the other half can be served as a garnish.

4
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). Make sure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled.
5
Grill the Salmon
Place the seasoned salmon filet skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes. Flip the salmon gently and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
6
Squeeze Lemon
During the last minute of grilling, squeeze the juice from one half of the lemon over the salmon for added flavor.

7
Plate the Salmon
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and place it on a serving plate. Garnish with the other half of the lemon and serve immediately.
