Begin by preparing the marinade: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh dill, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Place the 4 salmon steaks in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon steaks, ensuring they are well-coated on all sides. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 1 hour.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are covered with white ash. If using a gas grill, preheat for about 10 minutes.
Once the grill is heated, lightly oil the grill grates using a paper towel dipped in olive oil, held with tongs.
Remove the salmon steaks from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off before placing them on the grill.
Grill the salmon steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook as this can cause the fish to become dry.
Once cooked, remove the salmon steaks from the grill and allow them to rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the salmon steaks hot, garnished with additional fresh dill if desired.
