Basic Grilled Salmon Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F or 190-200°C) and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then brush them with olive oil and season generously with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the seasoned salmon fillets, skin-side down (if applicable), on the preheated grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the grilled salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving, then garnish with fresh lemon slices and your desired herbs, keeping in mind the additional flavor profiles for the five distinct recipes.

Notes

This recipe serves as a base. For the five high-protein grilled salmon recipes, experiment with different marinades, spices, and sauces during the seasoning and grilling steps. Ensure the salmon is cooked through but not overcooked to maintain its moisture and flavor. Vary the fresh herbs and spices to create unique flavor profiles for each of the five recipes.
