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:
- Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon that is fresh or frozen. Avoid farmed salmon, as it is often lower in quality and may contain contaminants.
- Cook the salmon to your desired doneness. Salmon is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. However, you can cook it to a higher or lower temperature depending on your preference.
- Use a good quality lemon dill sauce. The lemon dill sauce is what really makes this dish special. Be sure to use fresh dill and lemon juice, and don't skimp on the butter.
- Serve the salmon with your favorite sides. Grilled salmon goes well with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or potatoes.
Conclusion:
Grilled salmon with lemon dill sauce is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be cooked in under 30 minutes. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
