Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped dill
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, dill, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure that the salmon is evenly coated. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
- Preheat the grill or oven to medium heat.
- If grilling, place the salmon fillets on a well-oiled grill grate, skin side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. If baking, transfer the marinated salmon fillets to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the grill or oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the marinated salmon smoothly with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
