Swap dill for other fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or rosemary. A combination of herbs also works well.

Experiment with other citrus fruits like lime or orange zest and juice for a different flavor profile.
Instead of grilling, wrap each fillet in a parchment paper or foil packet with the marinade and lemon slices. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes for a steamed, incredibly moist result.

Absolutely. Just make sure to thaw it completely in the refrigerator overnight before using. Pat it very dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which is key for getting a good sear on the grill.
The best way is to use an instant-read thermometer; it should register 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part. Alternatively, you can check for visual cues: the flesh will turn from translucent pink to opaque, and it should flake easily when gently pressed with a fork.
This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled asparagus, a fresh green salad, roasted potatoes, quinoa, or a light couscous salad.
There are three key steps: make sure your grill is very hot, ensure the grates are clean, and oil the grates just before placing the fish on them. Also, don't try to flip the fish too early; it will release naturally when a good crust has formed.
