Ingredients

  • - **Salmon fillets:** 2 pieces 6 ounces each [approx. 170 grams each]
  • - **Olive oil:** 2 tablespoons [30 ml]
  • - **Lemons:** 2 1 for slicing and grilling, 1 for juicing
  • - **Capers:** 2 tablespoons [30 ml] drained
  • - **Fresh dill:** 2 tablespoons [30 ml] finely chopped
  • - **Salt:** 1/2 teaspoon [2.5 ml]
  • - **Black pepper:** 1/4 teaspoon [1.25 ml]
  • - **Garlic:** 2 cloves minced
  • - **Red chili flakes:** A sprinkle for those who want a dash of heat

Instructions

  • First things first, get that grill sizzling on a medium-high heat.
  • As it's warming up, grab a bowl and mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • Next, take those fresh salmon fillets and brush them thoroughly with your newly made mix.
  • 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.
  • Let the salmon grill for about 6-7 minutes each side. You're looking for a delightful char and a flakiness to the texture.
  • Once you've achieved perfection, move your salmon to a serving dish.
  • In another bowl, blend together the capers, dill, and a hint of lemon juice.
  • Drizzle this mix over your salmon.

Notes

1. Fresh salmon is the game changer. Always.
2. Grill pan in the kitchen? Perfect for Grilled Salmon with Lemon and Capers when outdoor grilling isn't an option.
3. Keep a close eye on the salmon. Press it lightly; if it flakes, it's ready.
4. A sprinkle of extra dill before serving? Always a good idea for an added fresh kick.
