Instructions

Combine all of the marinade ingredients (except for the salmon) in a large jar with a lid, in a small bowl, or in a large glass measuring cup. Shake vigorously or whisk until completely combined. Set aside about ¼ cup of marinade for later.
Place salmon filets and remaining marinade in a large zip-top plastic bag or in a glass container. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for about 30 minutes (and not longer than 1 hour).
Heat the coals or a gas grill to medium heat. Place the marinated salmon on the grill. Cover and grill for 4-5 minutes per side. Brush the salmon with the reserved ¼ cup of marinade a couple of times as the fish cooks. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
Serve the grilled salmon with an extra squeeze of fresh lemon juice and/or additional chopped fresh herbs for garnish. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

For the Broiler: Place the marinated salmon on a broiler pan. Put the fish directly under the broiler for 5 minutes. Flip it over and continue to broil for about 4-6 more minutes, or until the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
For the Oven: To bake the marinated salmon, preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the fish on a rimmed baking sheet that has been lined with foil and sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 8-11 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. You can put the salmon under the broiler for the final few minutes if you'd like to get the top a bit crispier!
