Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove, minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and brush each fillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season each fillet with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of black pepper.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the salmon from the grill and set aside.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the citrus vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, and remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the orange zest and chopped dill, then whisk to combine. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper if needed.
Plate the grilled salmon and drizzle the citrus vinaigrette generously over the top. Garnish with additional fresh dill or orange slices if desired.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.
