Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each, skin-on
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Fresh dill, for garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and lemon juice.

  3. 3

    Brush the olive oil mixture liberally onto both sides of the salmon fillets.

  4. 4

    Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down, and close the grill lid.

  5. 5

    Grill for 5-7 minutes, then carefully flip the fillets and grill for another 5-7 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

  6. 6

    Remove from the grill, garnish with fresh dill, and serve hot.

Chef's tip

Ensure the salmon is fresh and the grill is properly heated before starting. Using skin-on fillets helps to keep the fish moist and provides additional flavor.
