1
Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add fresh dill if desired.
2
Marinate the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F or 190°C).
4
Grill the Salmon
Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on one side.
5
Flip and Finish Cooking
Carefully flip the salmon using a spatula and grill for another 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

6
Serve
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with fresh lemon wedges and extra dill if desired.
