Instructions

Remove the salmon from the refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature
Pat the skin of the salmon dry with paper towels
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, crushed garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Let it infuse for 10 minutes
Preheat the grill to medium-high (400°F to 450°F) and clean the grates
Brush the garlic mixture generously over the flesh side of the salmon for no more than 30 minutes
Place the salmon on the grill, flesh-side down, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes
Carefully flip the salmon using a spatula and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes on the skin-side, until it reaches an internal temperature of 125°F for medium-rare
Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving

Notes

For a spicy variation, add 1 teaspoon of red chili flakes to the garlic oil infusion.

If you prefer a different herb, substitute parsley with dill or tarragon.
