Grilled Salmon with Basil and Mint

  1. Prepare grill for cooking.
  2. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal.
  3. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds.
  4. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes.
  5. Brush both sides of citrus slices with 1/2 tablespoon oil, then brush fish all over with 1 tablespoon oil and season with sea salt and pepper.
  6. Grill citrus slices, covered only if using a gas grill, on lightly oiled grill rack, turning over once, until grill marks appear, 2 to 3 minutes total.
  7. Transfer citrus slices to a plate, then, if using a gas grill, reduce heat to moderate.
  8. Grill fish, skin sides down, covered only if using a gas grill, until skin is crisp, 3 to 4 minutes.
  9. Turn each piece of fish onto 1 side and grill 1 minute.
  10. Turn over onto opposite side and grill until fish is just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  11. Transfer fish to a platter and keep warm, covered loosely with foil.
  12. Heat basil and mint in remaining 1/4 cup oil in a heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until herbs are just wilted, about 1 minute.
  13. Serve fish with herbed oil and top with citrus slices.
