Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Brush all sides with olive oil. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the flesh side of each fillet. Sprinkle with the chopped fresh dill and the zest of the lemon.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and releases easily from the grate. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 2-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fillets before serving. Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges on the side.
Place the brown rice in a fine-mesh sieve. Rinse thoroughly under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes, or until the water runs clear. Drain completely. This step is crucial for removing excess surface starch, which ensures fluffy, separate grains.
In a medium saucepan with a heavy bottom and a tight-fitting lid, combine the rinsed rice, water, salt, and olive oil (if using).
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat. Once it's boiling, give the rice one quick stir to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
Immediately reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting. Cover the saucepan with the lid and let it simmer gently for 40 minutes. It is very important not to lift the lid during this time, as the trapped steam is what cooks the rice.
After 40 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat but keep the lid on. Let it stand undisturbed for another 10 minutes. This resting period allows the grains to absorb any remaining moisture and firm up.
Finally, remove the lid and gently fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains. Serve warm.
