Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Salmon fillets (skin-on)
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). If you are using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed.
Spray the grill grates with non-stick cooking spray or brush them lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, 2 tablespoons of the chopped dill, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Brush each fillet generously with the dilled mustard glaze, ensuring that the top and sides are evenly coated. Reserve a small amount of the glaze for later use.
Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side down. Close the lid and grill for 6-7 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fillets.
Carefully flip the salmon fillets using a spatula. Grill the second side for another 4-5 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. For added flavor, brush the salmon with the reserved glaze during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Transfer the grilled salmon to a serving platter. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of chopped dill over the top for a fresh garnish.
Serve the grilled salmon immediately with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
