Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets (skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 piece English cucumber, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the fillets with olive oil and season evenly with salt and black pepper.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is grilling, prepare the chive and dill sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, chopped chives, chopped dill, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Stir until smooth and season with additional salt and pepper to taste if desired. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Slice the English cucumber thinly and arrange on a serving platter.
Once the salmon is cooked, place it on the platter alongside the cucumbers.
To serve, spoon the chive and dill sauce over the salmon and cucumbers. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
