Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
  

Preheat the Grill

  • Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Clean the grill grates carefully before cooking the salmon fillets evenly.

Prepare the Salmon

  • Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Dry fish helps create better grill marks and crispy edges naturally.

Make the Marinade

  • Combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, oregano, salt and black pepper inside a small bowl thoroughly.

Season the Salmon

  • Brush the marinade evenly over both sides of salmon fillets. Let the fish rest for ten minutes briefly.

Oil the Grill Grates

  • Lightly oil the grill grates carefully. This prevents the salmon skin from sticking while grilling over high heat.

Place Salmon on Grill

  • Put salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill carefully. Leave space between pieces for even cooking and flipping.

Grill the First Side

  • Cook salmon for about six minutes without moving. The fish should release easily once properly grilled underneath completely.

Flip the Salmon

  • Use a fish spatula carefully to flip each fillet gently. Avoid breaking the tender salmon while turning over.

Finish Grilling

  • Cook the second side for four to six minutes. Salmon should flake easily while staying juicy inside completely.

Check for Doneness

  • Insert a fork gently into the thickest part. The salmon should separate easily and appear slightly opaque throughout.

Add Fresh Herbs

  • Sprinkle chopped parsley over the grilled salmon immediately. Fresh herbs add color and bright fresh flavor beautifully.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve grilled salmon warm with lemon wedges. Enjoy the smoky, juicy and flavorful seafood dinner immediately fresh.

Notes

  • Use fresh salmon for best flavor.
  • Keep grill grates very clean.
  • Avoid overcooking the salmon fillets.
  • Use cedar planks for smoky flavor.
  • Add honey for sweeter glaze.
  • Fresh dill pairs beautifully with salmon.
  • Marinate briefly for lighter texture.
  • Use lime instead of lemon.
  • Keep skin on while grilling.
  • Add chili flakes for spicy flavor.
