Method
Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Salmon
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the fish. Ensure the fillets are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.

Soak the Wood Chips
While the salmon is marinating, soak the hickory wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. This will help them produce smoke while grilling.

Add Wood Chips
Drain the soaked hickory wood chips and wrap them in aluminum foil, creating a pouch. Poke a few holes in the pouch to allow smoke to escape. Place the pouch directly over the heat source of the grill.

Grill the Salmon
Remove the salmon from the marinade and gently shake off excess liquid. Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill grates over the cooler side of the grill. Close the lid and grill for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Use a spatula to carefully lift the fillets off the grill.
