Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon steaks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 for garnishing Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place the salmon steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure that they are well-coated on both sides. Allow the steaks to marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature.
Step 4
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the marinated salmon steaks on the grill.
Step 5
Grill the salmon steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the steak, until the salmon is cooked through and has grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Step 6
Remove the salmon steaks from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Step 7
Serve the grilled salmon steaks with lemon wedges for garnishing. Pair with a side of salad or steamed vegetables for a complete high-protein meal.
