Grilled Salmon with Lemon and Dill
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillet
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tbsp lemon juice fresh
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- lemon wedges
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. This aromatic marinade will infuse the salmon with a burst of fresh and zesty flavors.
- Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is coated evenly. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Grill the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the fillets on the preheated grill, skin side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork. Be careful not to overcook to maintain the salmon's moist texture.
- Serve and Garnish: Transfer the grilled salmon to a serving platter. Garnish with additional fresh dill and serve with lemon wedges on the side. The extra squeeze of lemon adds a final touch of brightness to the dish.
