Lemon Dill Grilled Salmon Fillets

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Dill Grilled Salmon Fillets.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your outdoor grill to a high heat, and don’t forget to lightly oil the grate to keep your salmon from sticking.

2. Step 2

   Once the grill is hot and ready, place the salmon fillets alongside thick slices of lemon on the grate.

3. Step 3

   Grill the salmon for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side, watching for that perfect flakiness that tells you it’s done.

4. Step 4

   While the salmon is grilling, let’s whip up a delightful sauce.

5. Step 5

   In a small saucepan, mix together water, fresh lemon juice, and cornstarch, stirring until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.

6. Step 6

   Add in some butter and heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously until it comes to a gentle boil and thickens, which should take around 5 to 10 minutes.

7. Step 7

   Once your sauce has reached that lovely, creamy consistency, take it off the heat and stir in the quartered lemon slices, fresh dill, a pinch of salt, dried chervil, and a dash of cayenne pepper for a little kick.

8. Step 8

   Now, it’s time to serve! Plate your beautifully grilled salmon fillets with the grilled lemon slices on the side, and generously drizzle that vibrant dill sauce over the top.
