Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 4 slices lemon slices
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and fresh dill to make the marinade.
Step 2
Place the salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 1 hour for deeper flavor).
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off, and discard the marinade.
Step 5
Place the fillets, skin side down, on the preheated grill. Close the grill lid and cook for about 5-6 minutes.
Step 6
Carefully flip the salmon using a spatula and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes. Serve with lemon slices on top for garnish.
Step 8
Enjoy your perfectly grilled salmon with your favorite side dishes like grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad!
