Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the marinade: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh dill, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Step 2
Place the 4 salmon steaks in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon steaks, ensuring they are well-coated on all sides. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 1 hour.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are covered with white ash. If using a gas grill, preheat for about 10 minutes.
Step 4
Once the grill is heated, lightly oil the grill grates using a paper towel dipped in olive oil, held with tongs.
Step 5
Remove the salmon steaks from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off before placing them on the grill.
Step 6
Grill the salmon steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook as this can cause the fish to become dry.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the salmon steaks from the grill and allow them to rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 8
Serve the salmon steaks hot, garnished with additional fresh dill if desired.
