Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, combine the fresh dill, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, honey, and lemon zest. Whisk thoroughly to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated. Cover or seal, and let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the salmon from sticking.

Step 5

Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Close the lid and cook for 6–7 minutes.

Step 7

Carefully flip the salmon fillets using a wide spatula and cook for an additional 4–5 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F or the flesh easily flakes with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Garnish with additional fresh dill and lemon slices, if desired. Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
