Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets (skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 4 pieces (for serving, optional) lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Clean and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 3
Brush both sides of the salmon fillets generously with the marinade. Allow the salmon to marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature while the grill heats up.
Step 4
Once the grill is ready, place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill grates. Close the grill lid and cook for 4-5 minutes.
Step 5
Carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook the other side for another 4-5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 6
Remove the salmon from the grill and sprinkle the fillets with fresh chopped dill for an added burst of flavor.
Step 7
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side and your choice of healthy accompaniments, such as grilled vegetables or a mixed green salad.
