Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Brush each fillet with olive oil and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down if applicable. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has grill marks.
While the salmon is grilling, prepare the honey dill sauce. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the honey, lemon juice, and chopped fresh dill. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce is well combined and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Once the salmon is cooked, transfer the fillets to a serving plate. Drizzle the honey dill sauce generously over each fillet.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, steamed rice, or a fresh green salad.
