Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Lemon slices and fresh dill sprigs for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Meanwhile, prepare the salmon fillets by patting them dry with paper towels and seasoning both sides with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, chopped dill, minced garlic, and olive oil to create a marinade.
- Place the seasoned salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, then pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the grilled salmon from the heat and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh dill sprigs before serving.
Notes
- Choose wild-caught salmon for the highest nutritional value and sustainability.
- Make sure the grill is well-oiled to prevent the salmon from sticking during cooking.
- Don’t overcook the salmon to avoid dryness. Aim for a slightly pink center for moist and tender fish.
- Serve the grilled salmon with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete and nutritious meal.
