Description
A simple and delicious grilled salmon recipe, perfect for a healthy and quick meal.
Ingredients
- 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets, skin on or off
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400-450°F or 200-230°C).
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Brush both sides of the salmon fillets with the olive oil mixture.
- Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down (if applicable) on the preheated grill.
- Grill for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. For skin-on, cook mostly skin-side down until crispy, then flip for a minute or two to finish.
- Remove from the grill and serve immediately with extra lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
- Adjust grilling time based on the thickness of your salmon fillets.
- Ensure the grill grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
- For extra flavor, you can add other herbs like parsley or chives.
