Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon or halibut fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). If using a gas grill, oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Pat the salmon or halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly brush both sides of the fish with olive oil.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the fillets, ensuring they are fully coated with the marinade.

Step 5

Place the fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Close the lid and cook for 5-6 minutes without flipping.

Step 6

Using a spatula, carefully flip the fillets and grill for another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Once cooked, transfer the fillets to a serving platter and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.

Step 9

Enjoy your grilled salmon or halibut with your favorite side dishes!
