1
Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
2
Marinate the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the salmon is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F or 190°C to 232°C).
4
Grill the Salmon
Remove the salmon from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes without moving them, until the skin is crispy and the fish is opaque.
5
Flip and Finish Cooking
Carefully flip the salmon fillets using a spatula and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
6
Serve
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
