Instructions
-
Preheat a grill or heavy grill pan over medium-high heat and oil the grates thoroughly.
-
Pat salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels and brush the flesh side with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and fresh chopped dill.
-
Place salmon skin-side down on the hot grill, alongside lemon rounds, and cook undisturbed for 6 to 8 minutes until skin is crisp.
-
Carefully flip the fillets using a fish spatula and grill for another 3 to 4 minutes until flesh flakes easily with a fork.
-
Transfer grilled salmon to plates, spoon the warm garlic lemon butter over top, and garnish with grilled lemon slices.
Notes & Tips
Leaving the skin on while grilling insulates the delicate fish and keeps the fillet moist and juicy.
