Ingredients
- INGREDIENTS
- Here’s what you’ll need to create this culinary masterpiece:
- Fresh salmon fillets 2 pieces – 6 oz each (170g)
- Olive oil – 2 tablespoons 30 ml
- Dijon mustard – 2 tablespoons 30g
- Lemon juice – 1 tablespoon 15 ml
- Garlic cloves minced – 2
- Fresh dill chopped – 1 tablespoon (5g)
- Salt – ½ teaspoon 2.5g
- Black pepper – ¼ teaspoon 1.25g
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Notes
TIPS:
For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
Opt for wild-caught salmon for a richer flavor profile and added health benefits.
If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning. SERVING AND EATING SUGGESTIONS: Pair this delectable Grilled Salmon with Dijon Mustard Sauce with a vibrant garden salad tossed in a light vinaigrette. For a heartier meal, accompany it with a side of quinoa or steamed vegetables. The succulent salmon and tangy mustard sauce create a symphony of flavors that will leave you craving for more.
