Light a grill and set it up for direct heat or preheat a grill pan. Oil the grates and grill the halved lemons cut side down over high heat until nicely browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, grill the lemon slices, turning once, until nicely charred on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool slightly. Squeeze the juice from the halved lemons into a liquid measuring cup until you have about 3/4 cup.
