How to Make Grilled Salmon

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a nice sear.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Generously brush the salmon fillet with the olive oil mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  5. Place the salmon fillet on the preheated grill.
  6. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fillet.
  7. If using fresh herbs, sprinkle them over the salmon during the last minute of grilling.
  8. Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a minute or two before serving.
  9. Serve immediately with lemon wedges (optional).
