Print Recipe

A flavorful and healthy grilled salmon dish infused with fresh lemon and dill, perfect for summer meals or light dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, dill, garlic, salt, and pepper.

  4. Brush the lemon-dill mixture generously over the salmon fillets.
