1
Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
2
Marinate the Salmon
Place the salmon fillet in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the salmon is well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-200°C). If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed.
4
Grill the Salmon
Remove the salmon from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
5
Garnish and Serve
If desired, sprinkle fresh dill over the grilled salmon for added flavor. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
