Instructions

Step 1: Preheat a gas grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F. Brush the grill grates with 2 tbsp olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp garlic powder to make the glaze.
Step 3: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets and season both sides with 1 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper.
Step 4: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp and the flesh releases easily from the grill.
Step 5: Flip the fillets carefully and brush the exposed side generously with the maple mustard glaze. Grill for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through and glaze is caramelized.
Step 6: Remove salmon from the grill, brush again with glaze, and garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill before serving.
