Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 whole (zested and juiced) Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh dill
- 1 clove (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush them with olive oil and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, prepare the mustard dill sauce by combining Dijon mustard, Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, fresh dill, minced garlic, and honey. Mix well and set aside.
Once the grill is hot, place the salmon fillets on the grill skin-side down. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
When the salmon is cooked through, transfer it to a serving plate and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Drizzle the mustard dill sauce over the grilled salmon or serve it on the side as a dip.
Garnish with additional fresh dill or lemon slices if desired and serve immediately.
