Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill
  • 1 (2 1/2-pound) skin-on side of salmon, pin bones removed
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 lemons, halved
  • 2 tablespoons mixed chopped fresh herbs such as tarragon, marjoram, thyme and parsley

Instruction

  • Oil grill grates, then preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  • Meanwhile, brush salmon all over with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange salmon on grill, skin-side down and cook, gently flipping once, until golden brown on both sides and cooked to desired doneness, up to about 15 minutes total.
  • To flip the salmon, use two large spatulas.
  • Or use a rimless baking sheet to help you flip the salmon and slide it back onto the grill to cook on the second side.
  • Meanwhile, arrange lemons on grill, cut-sides down and grill until deep golden brown and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • When done, carefully transfer salmon to a large platter, scatter herbs over the top and serve with lemons on the side for squeezing.
