Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 piece lemons, sliced for garnish
- 4 sprigs dill sprigs for garnish
Instructions
Place the salmon fillets on a plate and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, chopped dill, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a smooth marinade.
Brush the mustard marinade generously onto both sides of each salmon fillet. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the salmon fillets on the grill skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving them to develop grill marks and allow the skin to crisp up.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and 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.
Garnish each fillet with a lemon slice and a sprig of fresh dill. Serve immediately.
