1
Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully blended.
2
Marinate the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each fillet is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are glowing and covered with white ash.
4
Grill the Salmon
Remove the salmon from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on one side.
5
Flip and Finish Cooking
Carefully flip the salmon fillets using a spatula and grill for an additional 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 couple of minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh dill and lemon wedges if desired.
