Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 fillets Salmon fillets approx. 6 oz each
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 0.5 Lemon sliced
  • 1 tsp Dried dill
  • 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Tongs
  • Paper towels

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gently blot salmon fillets with a paper towel to remove excess moisture; this helps achieve a crispy skin.
  2. Brush both sides of the salmon with olive oil, then sprinkle generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried dill.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400-450°F (200-230°C), cleaning the grates if necessary.
  2. Place salmon skin-side down on the preheated grill and cook for 4-6 minutes; flip and cook for another 4-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Serving
  1. Garnish with lemon slices and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes before grilling. Ensure grill grates are clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
