1
Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
2
Marinate the Salmon
Place the salmon fillet in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 450°F or 190°C to 230°C).
4
Grill the Salmon
Remove the salmon from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.
5
Garnish and Serve
If using fresh dill, sprinkle it over the salmon before serving. Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes.
