1
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
2
Marinate the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3
Prepare the Grill
Soak red oak wood chunks in water for 30 minutes. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4
Grill the Salmon
Place the soaked red oak chunks on the grill. Once they start to smoke, place the marinated salmon fillets on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5
Serve
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and garnish with additional dill if desired.
