Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside on a large plate or tray.
Step 2
In a small bowl, prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, the juice of one lemon (about 2 tablespoons), minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to combine into a smooth marinade.
Step 3
Brush the marinade generously over both sides of the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the salmon sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the hot grill. Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes, allowing the fish to develop grill marks and cook through on the skin side.
Step 6
Carefully flip the fillets using a flat spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
Step 7
Remove the salmon from the grill and transfer to a serving plate. Let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the grilled salmon with lemon wedges and garnish with additional fresh dill, if desired. Pair with a side of roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
