Description
A recipe for grilled salmon calls for fresh salmon fillets, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs like parsley or dill. It has a smokey, buttery flavor and a texture that is soft but somewhat crunchy on the outside. It is a classic favorite in seafood cooking and gets its name from the grilling process.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare the salmon fillets by using paper towels to pat them dry. Add the garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil.
- Rub the mixture over the salmon to marinate it. Evenly distribute the black pepper, salt, and dill. Give it fifteen minutes to sit.
- Using a grill or grill pan, preheat it over medium-high heat. Apply oil to the brush to keep it from sticking.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for four to five minutes. For an additional four minutes, flip and grill.
- Final Touches: When the salmon is flaky and opaque, remove it. Before serving, allow it to cool for five minutes.
Notes
- To ensure even cooking, preheat the grill. For reliable results, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. To keep the grates from sticking, grease them. The salmon gets a lovely sear on a hot grill, giving it a somewhat crispy outside. This method preserves softness by locking up juices. Efficient preheating enhances your cooking and guarantees results on par with those of a professional.

Recipe Variations
- Cajun Grilled Salmon with Spice. For a smokey, spicy flavor, use two tablespoons of Cajun seasoning for the dill. For further spiciness, add a pinch of cayenne pepper. Before grilling, liberally season the fillets with Cajun spices and brush them with olive oil. The end product is a dish that is crisp on the outside and has a strong flavor.
- Garlic Butter Salmon on the Grill. In the marinade, replace the two tablespoons of melted garlic butter with olive oil. Season with paprika for taste and color. For a rich, buttery texture, brush the fillets with garlic butter while they are grilling. The result is a smooth, fragrant, and completely delectable dish. Comfort food at its best, served with creamy mashed potatoes.
- Salmon on the Grill with Honey Mustard. In the marinade, mix the olive oil, Dijon mustard, and two teaspoons of honey. This gives it a tart and sweet touch. For a glossy finish, brush the salmon with more honey mustard while it is grilling. This version is ideal for a meal with the whole family.
What to serve with Grilled Salmon
- Mashed Potatoes with Garlic. Mashed potatoes with garlic give the smokey, flaky grilled fish a rich, creamy texture. Its garlicky, buttery flavor counterbalances the marinade’s sharpness. While letting the salmon’s herbs and spices take center stage, this side dish offers a hearty foundation.
- Salad with Mediterranean Chickpeas. Vibrant tastes from the Mediterranean chickpea salad enhance the savory herbs of the grilled fish. Add feta cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, and olives to the chickpeas. Drizzle with lemon vinaigrette.
- Parmesan-roasted asparagus. The earthy, slightly burnt aromas of roasted asparagus create a wonderful contrast to the smokey undertones of grilled salmon. For a nutty touch that adds depth overall, sprinkle asparagus with Parmesan cheese.
