1
Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2
Marinate the Salmon
Place the salmon fillet in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for best flavor.

3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F or 190°C to 200°C).
4
Grill the Salmon
Remove the salmon from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill. Grill for about 4-6 minutes on one side, then carefully flip the salmon using a spatula.
5
Finish Grilling
Grill for another 4-6 minutes on the other side, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
6
Serve
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with your choice of sides.
