Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Place salmon fillets skin-side down in a shallow dish and pour marinade over them. Marinate for 15 minutes to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (350–500°F). Clean and oil the grill grate.
Remove salmon from marinade, lightly oil the skin side, and place on the grill skin-side down.
Grill for 4–5 minutes without moving. Flip and grill another 2–3 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 125–130°F (or up to 140°F for well done).
Transfer salmon to a platter, let rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with lemon slices and chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Add lemon zest to the marinade for extra citrus flavor.
Swap oregano with fresh herbs like dill or parsley for variation.
Add honey or maple syrup to the marinade for a sweeter flavor.
Use a cedar plank for a smoky, wood-infused flavor.
