Ingredients

  • Salmon fillets (4 (6-ounce) pieces)
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Fresh lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
  • Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Dried dill (1 teaspoon)
  • Salt (1/2 teaspoon)

  • Fresh lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
  • Fresh dill (1 tablespoon, finely chopped)
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons)

  • Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper. This will be your marinade.
  3. Brush the salmon fillets with the marinade, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow the salmon to marinate for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  5. Place the salmon fillets on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. Remove the salmon from the grill and immediately sprinkle with fresh dill.
  7. Serve the grilled salmon fillets with lemon wedges and the prepared Lemon Dill Sauce on the side.
