Ingredients
  

Grilled Salmon
  • 4 (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 (sliced) Lemon
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 2 tbsp Fresh dill chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Tongs
  • Meat Thermometer

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat salmon fillets dry, brush with olive oil, then season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Grilling & Serving
  1. Place salmon skin-side down on the hot grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, until an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) is reached.
  2. Remove salmon, let it rest for a few minutes, then garnish with lemon slices and chopped dill before serving.

Notes

For best results, pat salmon dry before seasoning to ensure a crispy skin. Always use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; salmon is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Do not overcook.
