Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp finely chopped dill, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 tsp lemon zest. Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and coat evenly with the marinade, pressing gently to adhere. Marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Preheat grill to medium-high (375°F). Remove salmon from marinade, discarding excess. Place salmon skin-side down on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes until edges begin to crisp. Flip carefully and cook another 4-5 minutes until fish flakes easily with a fork.
  3. Step 3: While salmon cooks, mix 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp chopped dill, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Serve salmon immediately with a dollop of sauce spooned over each portion.
