Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets, 6 ounces each, skin removed
• 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 lemons, juiced
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Method

1. 1Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 450°F, until the grates are hot and slightly smoky.
2. 2Line a tray with foil or parchment paper, creating a simple, disposable surface for the fish.
3. 3In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper, creating a fragrant spice blend.
4. 4Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil, coating them evenly on both sides.
5. 5Sprinkle the spice blend evenly over both sides of the salmon, making sure each fillet is well coated.
6. 6Place the salmon on the grill, skin side down if they had skin, and cook for 4-5 minutes, until the edges start to flake.
7. 7Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
8. 8Remove the salmon from the grill and squeeze with lemon juice, garnishing with parsley.
9. 9Serve the salmon hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
