This Lemon Herb Grilled Salmon is a quick, healthy, and incredibly flavorful dinner option. The fresh lemon juice cuts through the richness of the salmon, while fresh dill and garlic add aromatic depth. It's perfect for a light summer dinner or a nutritious meal any time of the year.

Ingredients

2 Salmon Fillets (approx. 6oz each)
1 Lemon, half sliced, half juiced
2 tbsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tbsp Fresh Dill, chopped
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
Asparagus spears (optional side)

Instructions

Prepare Marinade

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, spooned lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and pepper.

Season Salmon

Place the salmon fillets on a plate or in a sealable bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon and let it sit for about 15 minutes in the refrigerator.

Preheat Grill

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Grill

Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes without moving it to get a crispy skin. Flip carefully and cook for another 2-4 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Serve

Serve hot, garnished with fresh lemon slices and extra dill. Pairs beautifully with grilled asparagus or a fresh salad.
