Ingredients

• Salmon fillets - 2 x 150g

• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh dill - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper.
3. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
4. Once marinated, place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill.
