Description

A simple yet flavorful grilled salmon recipe that combines the richness of salmon with the bright zest of lemon and garlic, perfect for summer gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Brush the mixture over the salmon fillets.
  4. Place the salmon on the grill skin-side down and cook for about 6-8 minutes.
  5. Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 4-6 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Notes

Consider marinating the salmon at room temperature for 15-20 minutes for better flavor absorption. Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for enhanced taste.
