Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon steaks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 for garnishing Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to create a marinade.
Place the salmon steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure that they are well-coated on both sides. Allow the steaks to marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the marinated salmon steaks on the grill.
Grill the salmon steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steak, until the salmon is cooked through and has grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Remove the salmon steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Serve the grilled salmon steaks with lemon wedges for garnishing. Pair with a side of salad or steamed vegetables for a complete high-protein meal.
