1
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic cloves, chopped fresh dill, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2
Marinate the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover or seal the dish/bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
4
Grill the Salmon
Remove the salmon from the marinade and discard the leftover marinade. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for 6-8 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5
Serve
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and fresh dill sprigs if desired.
