Grilled Salmon

Grits

Optional Garnish

Method

Preparing the Grilled Salmon

  1. 1

    Marinate the Salmon

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh dill. Add the salmon fillets and coat them well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

  3. 3

    Grill the Salmon

    Place the marinated salmon fillets on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Cooking the Grits

  1. 4

    Boil Water

    In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tsp of salt to the water.

  2. 5

    Cook the Grits

    Once the water is boiling, slowly whisk in the grits. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grits are thick and creamy.

  3. 6

    Add Milk and Cheese

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in the milk, butter, and shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined. Adjust seasoning with more salt if needed.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the creamy grits in bowls topped with the grilled salmon. Garnish with chopped green onions and lemon wedges if desired.
