Grilled Salmon

Grilled Salmon is a delicious and healthy dish that brings the perfect balance of smoky flavor and tender texture. Paired with a zesty lemon-dill sauce, this meal is both satisfying and refreshing.

Ingredients

• Salmon fillets - 2 x 150g
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh dill - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Lemon wedges - for serving

Steps

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, chopped dill, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
3. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
4. Once the grill is hot, place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill.
5. Grill the salmon for about 6-8 minutes on the first side, then carefully flip and grill for another 4-6 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
6. Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
7. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
