Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Brush each fillet with olive oil and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down if applicable. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has grill marks.
Step 4
While the salmon is grilling, prepare the honey dill sauce. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Stir in the honey, lemon juice, and chopped fresh dill. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce is well combined and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Step 7
Once the salmon is cooked, transfer the fillets to a serving plate. Drizzle the honey dill sauce generously over each fillet.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, steamed rice, or a fresh green salad.
