Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) salmon fillets with skin on
- 4 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon (freshly ground) black pepper
- 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring the fish is well-coated. Sprinkle with the chopped fresh dill.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap or seal the bag and let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour for deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F). Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Use a spatula to carefully flip the fillets, starting from the edge to avoid tearing the flesh.
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled salmon with fresh lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Pair with your favorite grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
