Grilled Lemon Dill Salmon

Ingredients

• 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets or steaks, preferably skin-on
• Kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more to wipe down the grill
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
• 1 thinly sliced lemon, for garnish

Instructions:

• Prep the salmon and the grill:
• Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and sprinkle a little salt over it. Let it sit at room temperature and preheat your grill for high, direct heat.
• Make the dill butter:
• While the grill is heating, mix the fresh dill with the butter in a small bowl.

Grill the salmon:

• When the grill is hot, scrape down the grates with a grill brush. Pour a little olive oil onto a paper towel and use tongs to wipe down the grill grates.
• Coat the salmon in the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and place it, skin side up, onto the grill grates. Grill over high heat for 2 to 4 minutes (depending on how thick your salmon pieces are) undisturbed.
• Carefully turn the salmon with a spatula. If using a gas grill, reduce the heat to medium. If using a charcoal grill, move the salmon to the cooler side of the grill.
• Cover and grill it for another 3 to 5 minutes, depending on how well done you prefer your salmon. The salmon should be just cooked through when done.
