Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) salmon fillets with skin on
- 4 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon (freshly ground) black pepper
- 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 2
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring the fish is well-coated. Sprinkle with the chopped fresh dill.
Step 4
Cover the dish with plastic wrap or seal the bag and let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour for deeper flavor.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375-400°F). Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Remove the salmon from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Step 7
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Use a spatula to carefully flip the fillets, starting from the edge to avoid tearing the flesh.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the grilled salmon with fresh lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Pair with your favorite grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
