Marinate the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Grill the Salmon
Remove the salmon from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill. Close the lid and grill for about 6-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, without flipping them. The salmon should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.

Serve
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
