1
Marinate the Salmon
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, allow the coals to burn until they are covered with gray ash.
3
Grill the Salmon
Remove the salmon from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill. Close the lid and cook for about 6-8 minutes, depending on thickness, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
4
Flip and Finish
Gently flip the fillets using a spatula and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.

5
Plate the Salmon
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve warm, garnished with lemon slices and fresh dill sprigs if desired.
