Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Brush each salmon fillet with olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle with lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 4
While the salmon is grilling, prepare the horseradish sauce. In a small bowl, mix together prepared horseradish, sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped dill, and lemon zest until well combined. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed.
Step 5
Once the salmon is cooked, transfer it to a serving platter. Serve the grilled salmon fillets warm with the horseradish sauce on the side or drizzled over the top.
Step 6
Garnish with additional chopped dill or lemon wedges if desired, and enjoy!
