Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). In a small bowl, whisk 3 tbsp lemon juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Brush 4 salmon fillets evenly with half of the lemon-dill marinade and let rest for 10 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Grill salmon fillets skin-side down for 5-6 minutes until the edges are crispy and grill marks appear, then flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through but still moist.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss 2 cups baby arugula, 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, and 1 cup mixed chopped fresh herbs with the remaining lemon-dill marinade until the leaves are lightly coated and fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Serve each salmon fillet on a bed of the fresh herb salad, spooning any extra dressing over the top for a bright, herbaceous finish.
