  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon half for juice, half for slices
  • salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Serving Plate

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C) and lightly grease the grates.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then brush them with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Slice half of the lemon into thin rounds.
Grilling
  1. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill.
  2. Grill for 6-8 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the flesh easily flakes with a fork.
  3. Do not flip the salmon; cook it entirely on one side for best results.
Finishing Touches
  1. Transfer the grilled salmon to a serving plate and squeeze fresh lemon juice over each fillet.
  2. Garnish with fresh lemon slices and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider marinating the salmon for 15-30 minutes before grilling.
