Preparation
- 1
Marinate the salmon
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and the juice of half the lemon. Whisk together until well blended. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Cook the salmon
Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it skin-side down on the grill or a baking sheet if using the oven. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. If using the oven, bake for about 15-20 minutes.

Finishing touches
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the heat. Squeeze the remaining half of the lemon over the top and sprinkle with fresh dill, and optional capers or red pepper flakes if desired.
