Approximately 265 calories

Ingredients


For the Salmon:

  • 4 salmon fillets (6-8 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced (optional, for garnish)
  • Fresh dill sprigs (optional, for garnish)

For the Lemon-Dill Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lemon-Dill Sauce:

    In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, chopped dill, minced garlic, and lemon zest. Stir until well combined.
    Season the sauce with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Refrigerate the sauce while you prepare the salmon.

  2. Preheat the Grill:

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F/200°C). Make sure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

  3. Season the Salmon:

    Brush both sides of the salmon fillets with olive oil and season them generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  4. Grill the Salmon:

    Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill. Grill for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has beautiful grill marks.

  5. Prepare Lemon Slices (Optional):

    While the salmon is grilling, you can also grill some lemon slices for added flavor and garnish. Simply place lemon slices directly on the grill for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they caramelize and have grill marks.

  6. Serve:

    Transfer the grilled salmon fillets to serving plates. Spoon the Lemon-Dill Sauce generously over the top of each fillet.

    Garnish with grilled lemon slices (if desired) and fresh dill sprigs. Serve your Grilled Salmon with Lemon-Dill Sauce alongside your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a salad.

    Enjoy your perfectly grilled salmon with the refreshing and tangy lemon-dill sauce! It’s a delightful and healthy meal that’s perfect for any occasion.
