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

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C). If using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are glowing and covered with ash.
4
Grill the Salmon
Remove the salmon from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the salmon filets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, depending on thickness, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
5
Check for Doneness
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the salmon. It should reach 145°F (63°C).

6
Plate the Salmon
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve on plates and garnish with lemon slices and fresh dill sprigs.
