Description

Looking to add more flavor to grilled salmon? Top it with a pleasantly tangy sauce made with Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and fresh, fragrant dill.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill (or 2 teaspoons dried)
  • 1 teaspoon plus a pinch coarse salt 
  • 1/2 teaspoon plus a pinch freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 6-ounce skin-on salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate while you cook the salmon..
  2. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high, about 350-400°F.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel.  Lightly coat both sides with oil using a silicone pastry brush. Season both sides with the remaining salt and pepper.
  4. Grill the salmon, skin side-down, until it easily lifts away from the grates, about 6-8 minutes. Flip and cook until lightly browned on the other side, about 2 minutes.
  5. Arrange the salmon on a platter. Serve with lemon wedges and creamy dill sauce.
