1
Marinate the Salmon
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
2
Prep the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are hot and covered with white ash.
4
Grill the Salmon
Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it skin-side down on the grill grates. Grill for about 4-6 minutes on the first side.
5
Flip the Salmon
Carefully flip the salmon using a spatula and grill for another 4-6 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
6
Rest and Serve
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and additional fresh herbs if desired.
