4 STEPS

1
Step 1
- a.Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 200°C or 400°F) and clean the grates. In a small bowl, mix together the black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika to create a seasoning blend.
2
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel
- a.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.
3
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill
- a.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.
4
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2-3 minutes
- a.Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fillets before serving. Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges on the side.

PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
For extra crispy skin, make sure the grill is very hot and the salmon is very dry before seasoning.
2
Don't force the flip! If the salmon skin is sticking, it's not ready. Give it another minute.
3
A fish spatula is wider and more flexible than a regular spatula, making it ideal for flipping delicate fish.
4
For a smokier flavor, you can use a cedar plank. Soak the plank in water for at least an hour before placing the seasoned salmon on it and grilling.
5
Store leftover grilled salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It's great flaked over a salad the next day.
