Time 36m

Yield 2 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 Tbsp. honey
1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt
1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature
2 Tbsp. finely chopped dill, plus more for serving
1 (1 lb.) boneless salmon fillet, preferably skin-on
4 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, divided

Steps:

Prepare a grill for medium heat. Whisk 1 Tbsp. honey, 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt, and 1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest in a small bowl to combine. Add 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped, 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature, and 2 Tbsp. finely chopped dill and whisk again to combine (some lemon zest may remain separate and that's okay).
Tear off a large piece of foil according to the length and thickness of salmon (15x15" or larger) and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Place one 1 lb. boneless salmon fillet, preferably skin-on, arranging skin side down if skin is on, in center of foil (the skin will stick slightly to foil and brown while the fish cooks; you want this as it will add to the sauce). Spread garlic butter over fish, then drizzle 3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice on top. Carefully fold one side of foil up and over fish so lemon juice stays contained, then bring other sides up to meet it and fold together to seal, leaving about a 4" opening on top for steam to escape (this will help sauce reduce a bit).
Place foil packet on grate and grill fish until opaque throughout and firm, 16-20 minutes. Transfer packet to a cutting board and let fish rest 5 minutes.
Carefully open foil packet and cut fish in half. Transfer to plates; pour juices from packet over. Drizzle fish with remaining 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice, dividing evenly, and top with more finely chopped dill.

Tips:

To ensure the salmon is cooked evenly, use a fish spatula to gently flip it only once during grilling.
If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can cook the salmon in a grill pan over medium-high heat.
To prevent the chorizo from sticking to the grill, brush it with a little olive oil before grilling.
If you don't have chorizo, you can substitute another type of spicy sausage, such as andouille or kielbasa.
The olive sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Serve the grilled salmon with the chorizo-olive sauce, roasted vegetables, and a side of rice or quinoa.

Conclusion:

This grilled salmon recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the chorizo-olive sauce adds a flavorful kick. Serve it with your favorite sides and you have a meal that the whole family will enjoy.
