Grilled Lemon Salmon with Dill and Garlic
I wanted to do something other than my usual baked salmon (which usually has that weird white stuff because it's cooked too hot too quickly, even though it tastes good) and decided to try grilling it again. Well worth it!
2 lbs salmon fillets, rinsed and dried (should be about 4 fillets)
juice of 1 lemon
1/3 cup olive oil
2 cloves crushed garlic
1 TBS dill (could have used more, but I ran out)
1/2 tsp sea salt
freshly ground pepper
Place lemon juice, olive oil and seasonings in a large ziploc bag, mix well, and add salmon fillets. Marinate in fridge for a few hours. About 30 minutes before you're ready to grill, take them out to warm up a bit. Grill at about 300-350 degrees for 15 minutes, skin side down, or until done. Let rest 5 minutes. I served mine with wilted garlic spinach.
I always have issues with skin-on salmon. I can never get the skin off without it ripping into a million little pieces. Is that normal?
