THE GRILL

Method

THE GRILL

  1. 1

    Prepare the salmon

    Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly brush with olive oil, then season both sides with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  2. 2

    Make lemon-dill butter

    In a small bowl, whisk melted butter with lemon juice and minced garlic. Stir in chopped dill. This will be used to baste during grilling.

  3. 3

    Preheat the grill

    Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400-450°F / 205-230°C). Oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Grill the salmon

    Place salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down if present. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the flesh just flakes and is opaque around the edges.

  5. 5

    Baste and finish

    During the last minute of cooking, brush the salmon with the lemon-dill butter. Remove from grill, let rest for 2 minutes, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
