Ingredients

• 4 fillets salmon fillets (skin-on)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon lemon zest
• 0.25 teaspoon salt (for sauce)
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (for sauce)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them on a plate.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, coating both sides.

Step 4

Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill.

Step 5

Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the flesh flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center. Remove from the grill and let rest for a minute.

Step 6

While the salmon is grilling, prepare the creamy horseradish sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, prepared horseradish, fresh dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 7

Serve the grilled salmon fillets on plates with a dollop of creamy horseradish sauce on the side or drizzled over the top.

Step 8

Optionally, garnish with extra fresh dill or lemon wedges for added flavor and presentation. Enjoy!
