Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400-450°F or 200-230°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Salmon

    Remove the salmon from the marinade and place each fillet skin-side down on the grill. Grill for 5-6 minutes, then carefully flip and grill for another 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Serving Suggestions

  1. 5

    Serve with Sides

    Plate the grilled salmon alongside your choice of two swoon-worthy sides such as steamed asparagus, quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, or a mixed greens salad.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Optionally, garnish the salmon with additional dill or lemon slices before serving.
