Grilled Salmon

I'm happy to have my grill back in working order.  We grilled burgers and turkey dogs last week, and I'm planning to do lemon grilled chicken breasts for tonight.  Last night I grilled wild salmon.  I used this recipe from All Recipes http://allrecipes.com/recipe/grilled-salmon-3/.  I want to get Ian's father's recipe and possibly modify it so I can eat it too - it involves a teriyaki marinade, I think, and I might be able to substitute coconut aminos to get the soy out.  Anyway, this one was pretty good.  Took longer to cook than the recipe said - I think because the filets were so thick.  Forgot to take a picture last night, so these are the leftovers.

INGREDIENTS
2-3 pounds salmon filets
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice 
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
3-4 scallions, sliced
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp Rosemary
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp garlic powder

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Whisk together all ingredients except salmon.  Set aside 1/4 cup.  Place salmon in shallow pan and pour remaining marinade over it.  Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Fire up grill and set on moderate heat, about 400-500 degrees.  Lightly grease grate, if needed.
Place marinated salmon on grill, skin side down.  Throw away the used marinade.  Cook 15-40 minutes, marinating several times with the set aside marinade.  Cook until it flakes easily with a fork but is still nice and moist.
