Pat the salmon dry using paper towels. Drizzle the oil over the salmon then sprinkle the salt and pepper evenly on both sides of the fish.
Clean grill grates, set grill to medium heat, and let it heat up for about 5 minutes. Add the fish to the grill, skin side down and grill the first side covered for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip to the other side and grill for another 3 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when pricked with a fork. Or grill according to desired doneness.
Serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
1. Patting the fish dry with paper towels before grilling removes moisture from the fish so it can sear properly as it grills.2. Feel free to use a large salmon fillet for this recipe.3. Ensure you completely coat the salmon in oil before grilling. This helps the fish not to stick to the grill grates.4. Fish with or without skin will work in this recipe.5. You can substitute salmon with trout or any other firm-fleshed fish.
