Rinse the lemon under cool running water to remove any dirt or residue.
Pat the lemon dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Place the lemon on a cutting board with the stem end facing up.
Using a sharp knife, cut the lemon in half lengthwise from top to bottom.
Lay each half cut-side down on the cutting board for stability.
Cut each half lengthwise again into two equal parts to create quarters.
If smaller wedges are desired, cut each quarter into two smaller equal parts.
Trim off any visible seeds from the wedges if needed.
Serve the lemon wedges immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
