4. Step 4: Grill salmon for 6-7 minutes per side until opaque and easily flaked, transferring to a plate. Grill vegetables for 5-6 minutes, turning once, until tender-crisp with slight char marks.
5. Step 5: Arrange grilled salmon on a plate, top with grilled vegetables, and sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill.
