Preheat the (gas) grill to 350 degrees F.
Pat the fillet dry with paper towels on both sides. Set it aside.
Whisk olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl until combined.
Brush the salmon fillet generously with the olive oil mixture on both sides.
Scrape the grill grates to remove any possible food residue. Dip a wad of paper towel into a bowl with oil and then generously coat the grates.
Carefully place salmon, skin side down, and cook uncovered for 3 minutes or until it releases easily when you slide a spatula between the salmon fillet and grill grate.
Using two spatulas, carefully flip the salmon fillet and cook the other side for 3 minutes. The perfectly grilled salmon should register 125 degrees F when inserted with an instant read thermometer.
Transfer it onto a plate and loosely cover it with aluminum foil for a few minutes.
If preferred, drizzle it with lemon juice and garnish with fresh dill and plenty of sliced lemon before serving.
