Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillet (preferably fresh, skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 whole lemon, zest and juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 4 pieces optional: lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, fresh dill, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create the marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring each piece is well coated. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill.
Grill the salmon for 4–5 minutes on the skin side without moving them to allow the skin to crisp up. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3–4 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled Severn salmon immediately with optional lemon wedges for extra flavor.
