Ingredients:
4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
2 lemons, one juiced and one sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as dill, parsley, and thyme)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup for a sweet twist
Instructions:
Marinate the Salmon:

In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped herbs, salt, and black pepper (and honey or maple syrup if using).
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well-coated.
Let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat the Grill:

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, allow the coals to burn until they're covered with white ash.
Grill the Salmon:

Lightly oil the grill rack.
Place the salmon on the grill, skin side down, and discard the marinade.
Grill the salmon for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Avoid moving the salmon unnecessarily to get nice grill marks.
In the last few minutes of cooking, add lemon slices to the grill, turning once, until nicely charred.
Serve:

Serve the grilled salmon with the charred lemon slices on top for squeezing.
Pair with a side of grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or over a bed of cooked quinoa or rice for a complete meal.
Tips:
Choosing Salmon: Opt for skin-on fillets as the skin helps hold the salmon together and prevents sticking on the grill.
Avoid Overcooking: Salmon cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it to ensure it remains tender and moist.
Marinade Variations: Experiment with different herbs or add a splash of white wine to the marinade for an extra flavor boost.
