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!
This delightful spiced grilled salmon with garlic dill sauce is sure to impress your family and friends with its amazing flavor and beautiful presentation.
