In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and oregano.
Rub the marinade over the salmon fillets and let them sit for 15-20 minutes.
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly grease with oil.
Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side or until it flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from heat and set aside, covering lightly with foil to keep warm.
Rinse the rice under cold water to remove excess starch.
In a saucepan, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Add the rice, broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for 12-15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Then, fluff with a fork and stir in lemon juice, zest, and parsley.
Plate the garlic lemon rice and top it with the grilled salmon. Garnish with lemon wedges and extra parsley.
