1
Prepare the Marinade
In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, chopped fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
2
Marinate the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each fillet is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

3
Preheat the Grill
Heat the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C). Make sure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
4
Grill the Salmon
Remove the salmon from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-6 minutes, then carefully flip the salmon and grill for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

5
Serve the Grilled Salmon
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh dill and lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
