4 fillets salmon fillets Look for wild-caught salmon for richer flavor.
2 tablespoons olive oil Use good quality extra virgin olive oil.
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning An aromatic blend of basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
2 cloves garlic, minced Freshly minced is best.
to taste salt and pepper Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
for serving lemon wedges Essential for brightness.

Preheat your grill to medium heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Brush both sides of each salmon fillet with the herb oil mixture.

Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill and cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes.
Gently flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes until flaky and opaque.

Remove from the grill, finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon, and sprinkle with additional Italian seasoning if desired.

For best results, pat the salmon dry before seasoning. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes after applying the herb mixture before grilling.
