PREPARATION

  • Prepare The Marinade: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  • Marinate The Salmon: Place the salmon fillet in a shallow dish. Pour the lemon-dill mixture over the fillet, ensuring it’s well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Preheat The Grill: While the salmon marinates, preheat the grill or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  • Grill The Salmon: Place the marinated salmon fillet on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve Immediately: Transfer the grilled salmon to a plate and garnish with extra fresh dill or a lemon wedge if desired. Serve hot for the best flavour.

PREP TIME

15 minutes (including marinating time)

COOKING TIME

8-10 minutes

TIPS

  • Even Cooking: Ensure the salmon fillet is of uniform thickness to cook evenly. Thicker portions may require more time.
  • Don’t Overcook: Salmon is best when slightly pink in the centre. Overcooking can result in a dry texture.
  • Extra Flavour: Add a lemon slice directly on the grill alongside the salmon to infuse additional citrusy flavour.

VARIATIONS

  • Spicy Lemon Salmon: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chilli flakes to the marinade for a bit of heat.
  • Herb Mix: Substitute or add other herbs, such as parsley, thyme, or rosemary, for a different flavour profile.
  • Balsamic Glazed Salmon: Drizzle a touch of balsamic vinegar glaze over the cooked salmon for a sweet and tangy twist.
  • Garlic Lemon Salmon: Add minced garlic to the marinade for a garlicky flavour that pairs well with the dill and lemon.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge Storage: Store any leftover grilled salmon in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat the salmon gently in a hot pan or oven. Avoid the microwave to prevent drying it out.
  • Freezing: You can freeze raw salmon in its marinade for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before grilling.
