Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices lemon slices
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).
Step 2
Lightly spray the grill grates with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and brush both sides generously with the olive oil mixture.
Step 5
Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin side down if applicable. Close the lid and cook for 5-6 minutes.
Step 6
Carefully flip the salmon fillets using a wide spatula. Place a lemon slice on top of each fillet and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
