Salmon

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Salmon

Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place them in a shallow dish.

2

Marinate

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped dill. Pour the marinade over the salmon and let it sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

Cooking

3

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it on the stove over medium-high heat.

4

Grill the Salmon

Place the marinated salmon fillets on the grill skin-side down. Grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.

5

Serve

Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh dill and lemon wedges if desired.
