Equipment

  • Outdoor Grill
  • Fish Spatula
  • Pastry brush
  • Internal Meat Thermometer
  • Large Platter

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Salmon Fillets
  • 2 Meyer Lemons
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 Sprigs Fresh Thyme

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat now. Clean the grill grates with a wire brush. This prevents the fish from sticking later. Let it get very hot before you start.
  • Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This helps the skin get very crispy. Place them on a clean baking sheet. Brush both sides with olive oil now.
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper over the salmon fillets. Strip the leaves off the fresh thyme sprigs. Press the herbs onto the top of the fish. This helps the flavors stick well.
  • Slice the Meyer lemons into thin round circles. Remove any seeds you see in the fruit. These will be grilled alongside the salmon pieces. They look great and add juice.
  • Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill. Close the lid and cook for six minutes. Do not move the fish during this time. This creates beautiful grill marks on it.
  • Flip the salmon fillets over very carefully now. Place the lemon slices on the grill too. Cook everything for another four to five minutes. The salmon should be opaque inside.
  • Remove the salmon and lemons from the heat. Place them on your large serving platter. Squeeze the warm grilled lemons over the fish. Serve it immediately while it is hot.

Notes

  • Use a very clean grill to prevent sticking issues.
  • Leave the salmon alone so it develops a crust.
  • Do not overcook the fish or it gets dry.
  • Let the salmon reach room temperature before you grill.
  • Always oil the grill grates for easy flipping later.
