Ingredients
Scale
- 1 to 1.5 pounds (450–680 grams) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped fresh dill until smooth. Set aside.
- Season the salmon: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces / 170 grams each), then lightly season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Preheat your grill: Heat to medium-high (about 400°F / 200°C). If using a grill pan, preheat on the stovetop over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface.
- Apply the first layer of glaze: Brush the salmon fillets generously with the honey mustard mixture on one side.
- Grill the salmon: Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes without moving it until grill marks form and edges turn opaque.
- Flip and glaze: Carefully flip the fillets and brush the cooked side with more glaze. Grill for another 3-4 minutes or until salmon flakes easily and reaches an internal temperature of 125°F-130°F (52°C-54°C).
- Rest and serve: Remove salmon from grill and let rest for a few minutes. Spoon any remaining glaze over the top and garnish with extra fresh dill and lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
Keep the skin on the salmon to retain moisture and make flipping easier. Pat salmon dry before seasoning to help the glaze stick and promote a good sear. Apply glaze just before flipping to avoid burning. Let salmon rest after grilling to keep it juicy. If no grill is available, a cast iron skillet or oven baking at 400°F for 12-15 minutes with broiling for 2 minutes works well.
