I'm a flavorful and refreshing combination of smoky salmon, tangy lemon, and herby dill that's perfect for a light dinner. My crispy exterior gives way to a moist and flaky interior.
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce salmon fillets, skin removed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Method
- 1Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F, and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- 2Place the salmon fillets on a plate or tray and brush both sides with olive oil.
- 3Season the salmon with salt, pepper, and minced garlic, making sure to coat evenly.
- 4In a small bowl, mix together lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and chopped fresh dill, then brush the mixture onto the salmon fillets.
- 5Place the salmon on the grill, skin side down if they had skin, and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the bottom is deeply seared.
- 6Flip the salmon over and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until cooked through, flakes easily with a fork, and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- 7Remove the grilled salmon from the heat and let rest for a minute before serving.
- 8Serve the salmon hot, garnished with additional fresh dill if desired.
