1
Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2
Marinate the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F or 190°C to 200°C).
4
Grill the Salmon
Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 4-6 minutes on one side.
5
Flip and Finish Cooking
Gently flip the salmon fillets and grill for another 3-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. If using fresh dill, sprinkle it over the salmon during the last minute of grilling.

6
Serve the Salmon
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for extra flavor.
