Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon steaks
- 2 whole Lemon
- 3 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Rinse and pat dry the salmon steaks. Make a small slit in the side of each steak to allow stuffing.
Thinly slice 1 lemon and chop 2 tablespoons of fresh dill. Gently stuff 2-3 lemon slices and a pinch of dill into the slit in each salmon steak.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture generously over both sides of the salmon steaks.
Grill the salmon steaks for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has attractive grill marks.
While the salmon is grilling, prepare the Lemon Dill Sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, juice from the second lemon, 1 tablespoon of chopped dill, honey, and water until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the salmon is done, transfer it to a serving plate. Drizzle with Lemon Dill Sauce or serve the sauce on the side.
Garnish with additional fresh dill and serve warm. Enjoy with a side of grilled vegetables or rice for a complete meal!
