3. #### Step-by-Step Guide to Perfect Barbecue Flavor
5. **Ingredients:**
6. - 4 wild Alaska salmon fillets (approx. 6 oz each)
7. - Salt and pepper, to taste
8. - Olive oil
9. - Lemon wedges, for serving
10. - Fresh herbs (parsley or dill), for garnish

14. 2. **Prepare the Grill:** Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wood chips, soak them in water for 30-60 minutes before adding them to the coals to create smoke.
15. 3. **Grill the Salmon:** Place the salmon fillets on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they flake easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook, as this can make the meat dry.
