In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh dill, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create the marinade.
Place the salmon steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon steaks from the marinade and shake off any excess. Reserve the remaining marinade.
Place the salmon steaks on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While grilling, occasionally brush the reserved marinade over the salmon to keep it moist and enhance the flavor.
Remove the salmon steaks from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus.
