Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices lemon slices
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).
Lightly spray the grill grates with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and pepper.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and brush both sides generously with the olive oil mixture.
Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin side down if applicable. Close the lid and cook for 5-6 minutes.
Carefully flip the salmon fillets using a wide spatula. Place a lemon slice on top of each fillet and grill for an additional 4-5 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 before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
