How To Make It

2. As it’s warming up, grab a bowl and mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.
3. Next, take those fresh salmon fillets and brush them thoroughly with your newly made mix.
4. Lay out the lemon slices on the grill, and place the salmon right on top. This method infuses an extra zesty touch and prevents the salmon from sticking.
5. Let the salmon grill for about 6-7 minutes each side. You’re looking for a delightful char and a flakiness to the texture.
6. Once you’ve achieved perfection, move your salmon to a serving dish.
7. In another bowl, blend together the capers, dill, and a hint of lemon juice.
8. Drizzle this mix over your salmon.
