Tips
 
To ensure the Grilled Salmon with Caper Sauce is cooked perfectly, make sure the grill is hot before placing the salmon.
If you’re not a fan of Greek yogurt, you can replace it with sour cream or crème fraîche.
Always use fresh dill for the sauce; it gives a more vibrant flavor compared to dried dill.
You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for an extra kick!
Serving Suggestions
