Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp pure maple syrup, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until combined.
2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) skin-side down on a rimmed tray and brush both sides generously with the maple glaze. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium heat, about 375°F. Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
4. Step 4: Grill the salmon fillets skin-side down for 6-7 minutes without moving, then flip and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has a caramelized glaze.
5. Step 5: Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with extra fresh dill if desired.
