Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets (skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 4 pieces (for serving, optional) lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Clean and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Brush both sides of the salmon fillets generously with the marinade. Allow the salmon to marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature while the grill heats up.
Once the grill is ready, place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill grates. Close the grill lid and cook for 4-5 minutes.
Carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and sprinkle the fillets with fresh chopped dill for an added burst of flavor.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side and your choice of healthy accompaniments, such as grilled vegetables or a mixed green salad.
