Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp olive oil, and 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice to create the glaze.
Step 2: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each, skin on), then season both sides evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium heat (about 375°F) and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4: Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill and cook for 5 minutes without moving to develop grill marks.
Step 5: Flip the salmon carefully and brush the top side generously with half of the maple glaze. Grill for another 4-5 minutes, brushing with the remaining glaze halfway through, until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Step 6: Remove salmon to a serving platter, sprinkle 3 tbsp chopped fresh dill over the top, and garnish each fillet with a thin lemon slice before serving.
