Ingredients

• 4 pieces (4-6 oz each) Salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Zest of an orange
• 1 teaspoon Zest of a lemon
• 1 teaspoon Zest of a lime

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, honey, salt, pepper, and the orange, lemon, and lime zests.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in a large zip-top plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the citrus dill marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the salmon to absorb the marinade. For best results, marinate for up to 1 hour.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375–400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the salmon from sticking.

Step 5

Remove the salmon from the marinade and pat off any excess liquid with a paper towel. Discard the marinade.

Step 6

Place the salmon fillets directly onto the preheated grill, skin-side down. Cook for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking.

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes. Serve warm with a side of steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
