Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Salmon fillets (skin-on)
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using a grill pan, lightly grease the pan and preheat it over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, chopped dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, and olive oil.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season them evenly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Brush the mustard-dill mixture generously over the flesh side of the salmon fillets.
Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side down. Close the lid and grill for 6-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish.
Carefully flip the salmon fillets and grill for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Serve each fillet with a lemon wedge on the side for squeezing over the top. Pair with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
