Instructions

1. Preheat the Grill:
   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Marinade:
   In a bowl, combine olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a harmonious marinade.
3. Coat the Salmon:
   Place the salmon fillets on a plate and generously coat both sides with the prepared marinade. Allow them to marinate for about 10 minutes, letting the flavors infuse.
4. Grill the Salmon:
   Place the marinated salmon fillets on the preheated grill. Grill each side for about 4-5 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. The grill marks should add a delightful touch to your dish.
5. Serve with Panache:
   Once the salmon is grilled to perfection, transfer it to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the fillets for an extra burst of flavor. Garnish with fresh dill for an appealing presentation.

Tips

1. For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
2. Opt for wild-caught salmon for a richer flavor profile and added health benefits.
3. If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
