Method

Preparation of Salmon

  1. 1

    Marinate the Salmon

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped fresh dill. Place the salmon fillets in the marinade and let them sit for at least 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

Cooking the Salmon

  1. 3

    Grill the Salmon

    Place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  2. 4

    Season the Salmon

    While grilling, season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Preparation of Vegetables

  1. 5

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the zucchini and bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Trim the ends of the asparagus.

  2. 6

    Grill the Vegetables

    In a bowl, toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill them in a grill basket or directly on the grill for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until they are tender and slightly charred.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Once the salmon and vegetables are cooked, remove them from the grill. Serve the grilled salmon alongside the seasonal vegetables on a plate. Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
