Creating this mouthwatering Grilled Salmon with Lemon Dill Sauce is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and dill.
2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the fillets are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes to enhance the flavors.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a stovetop grill pan, preheat it on medium-high.
4. Grill the Salmon: Lightly oil the grill grates or pan to prevent sticking. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down if applicable. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
5. Serve: Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill. Plate it up and garnish with fresh dill and lemon wedges.
