Preparation Steps

Step 1: Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C). Clean the grates thoroughly and brush with a little oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Salmon Steaks

Pat the salmon steaks dry with a paper towel. Brush both sides with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika if using.

Step 3: Grill the Salmon

Place the salmon steaks on the preheated grill. Grill for 4–5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks. Avoid overcooking to maintain moisture.

Step 4: Add Lemon Juice

Once grilled, remove the salmon from the grill and drizzle with fresh lemon juice for added flavor and brightness.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Garnish with fresh dill or parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges. Pair with grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a wholesome and flavorful meal.
