1
Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, salt, and black pepper.
2
Marinate the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure that the fillets are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are hot and ashed over.
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. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, depending on thickness, or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork.
5
Check for Doneness
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 145°F (63°C).
6
Serve
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with lemon slices and fresh dill sprigs as garnish, if desired.
