Ingredients:
– 4 salmon fillets
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt and pepper to taste

For the Garlic Dill Sauce:
– 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
– 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
1. Preheat the grill: Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.

2. Prepare the salmon: Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Brush each fillet with olive oil. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.

3. Grill the salmon: Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.

4. Make the Garlic Dill Sauce: While the salmon is grilling, prepare the sauce by combining the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

5. Serve: Once the salmon is cooked, transfer the fillets to a serving platter. Spoon a generous amount of the garlic dill sauce over each fillet.

6. Enjoy: Serve the grilled salmon with your favorite side dishes, such as a fresh garden salad, roasted vegetables, or steamed rice. Enjoy!
