Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 Fillet Salmon fillets
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 Lemon sliced
  • 1 tbsp Dill fresh, chopped
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Tongs
  • Meat Thermometer

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then brush with olive oil and season generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
Grilling
  1. Place salmon skin-side down on the preheated grill and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the skin is crispy.
  2. Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the fish flakes easily.
Finishing Touches
  1. Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes, then squeeze fresh lemon juice over each fillet and garnish with chopped fresh dill before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider marinating the salmon for 30 minutes before grilling. You can also add a sprinkle of garlic powder or paprika to the seasoning mix. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
