9. Place the salmon on the grill skin side down. Grill until crispy and grill marks are visible.
10. Grill over medium-high heat 3-4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. On the final minute, brush with olive oil and add on top the lemon slices.

I cooked the vegetables first because it is best to serve the salmon immediately after grilling. Enjoy!
