Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F or 190-200°C) and lightly oil the grates.
  2. For basic grilled salmon, brush fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. For lemon herb salmon, combine lemon slices, dill, parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper, then rub onto the fillets.
  4. For spicy honey garlic salmon, mix honey, soy sauce, and Sriracha, then coat the fillets with this mixture.
Grilling
  1. Place the seasoned salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill.
  2. Grill for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Serving
  1. Remove the grilled salmon from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  2. Serve warm with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

For best results, use fresh, high-quality salmon. Adjust spice levels to your preference. These recipes are easily adaptable to an air fryer or oven if a grill is not available. Ensure that the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
