Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 4 slices lemon slices
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and fresh dill to make the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 1 hour for deeper flavor).
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off, and discard the marinade.
Place the fillets, skin side down, on the preheated grill. Close the grill lid and cook for about 5-6 minutes.
Carefully flip the salmon using a spatula and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes. Serve with lemon slices on top for garnish.
Enjoy your perfectly grilled salmon with your favorite side dishes like grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad!
