#### Ingredients:
- 2 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each), skin-on
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- Lemon slices (for garnish)

#### Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season them generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, dill, and chives.

4. Place the seasoned salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.

5. Brush the lemon herb mixture over the tops of the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.

6. Place a few lemon slices on top of each fillet for extra flavor.

7. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

8. Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.

9. Serve the lemon herb salmon hot, garnished with additional chopped herbs and lemon slices if desired.

Grilled Artichoke

Ingredients:
- Artichokes (1-2 per person)
- Olive oil
- Lemon wedges
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: garlic cloves, chopped herbs, or spices for additional flavor

Instructions:

1. Prepare the artichokes:
   - Trim the stem of each artichoke, leaving about 1 inch attached. Remove any small outer leaves at the base.
   - Use a sharp knife to cut about 1/2 inch off the top of each artichoke to remove the thorny tips of the leaves.
   - Use kitchen scissors to trim the sharp tips from the remaining outer leaves.
   - Use your fingers to gently spread the leaves apart, creating space for seasoning and grilling.

2. Steam the artichokes (optional):
   - Steaming the artichokes before grilling can help soften them and reduce grilling time. Place the prepared artichokes in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for about 20-30 minutes, until the outer leaves are tender and can be easily pulled off. Alternatively, you can microwave the artichokes on high for about 5-8 minutes, covered with a damp paper towel.

3. Season the artichokes:
   - Drizzle the steamed artichokes with olive oil, making sure to coat each one thoroughly.
   - Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the artichokes and season generously with salt and pepper. You can also add minced garlic, chopped herbs, or spices for additional flavor if desired.

4. Grill the artichokes:
   - Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
   - Place the seasoned artichokes directly on the grill grates, cut side down.
   - Grill the artichokes for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are lightly charred and tender when pierced with a fork.
   - Rotate the artichokes occasionally to ensure even cooking and charring.

5. Serve the grilled artichokes:
   - Once the artichokes are grilled to your liking, remove them from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
   - Serve the grilled artichokes hot, with additional lemon wedges and a dipping sauce of your choice, such as aioli or melted butter.
