1
Prepare the Salmon
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2
Season the Fillets
In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Rub the mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.
3
Prepare the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C). If you are using a charcoal grill, make sure to let the coals burn until they are covered with white ash.

4
Oil the Grill Grates
Using a paper towel dipped in olive oil, carefully wipe the grill grates to prevent sticking.
5
Grill the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Close the lid and cook for about 6-7 minutes.
6
Flip and Finish Cooking
Gently flip the salmon fillets using a spatula. Squeeze half of the lemon over the fillets and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

7
Plate the Salmon
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a minute. Serve it on a plate with a fresh sprinkle of dill, if desired, and lemon wedges on the side.
