Gourmet Grilled Salmon

Ingredients

Fresh dill

3 tablespoons, finely chopped

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Lemon

1, thinly sliced

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Salmon fillets

4 (6-ounce) fillets

Instructions

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent the salmon from sticking.
2. Pat the salmon fillets dry and brush each side with olive oil. This not only prevents sticking but also helps to adhere the seasoning.
3. Season both sides of the salmon fillets with the salt and freshly ground black pepper.
4. Arrange the thinly sliced lemons on top of the salmon fillets.
5. Evenly sprinkle the minced garlic and chopped fresh dill over the lemon-topped salmon fillets, pressing lightly to adhere.
6. Grill the salmon fillets for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Salmon should be opaque throughout and flake easily with a fork.
7. Carefully remove the grilled salmon from the grill using a fish spatula and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the fillet.
8. Serve the grilled salmon with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh garden salad for a well-rounded meal. Enjoy!
