Things You'll Need:
-
Step 1
Purchase your salmon. The process of cooking a good grilled salmon starts at the time of purchase. The key to buying the best salmon for cooking on a grill is leaving on the skin at the time of purchase. Often time grillers make the mistake of having the skin taken off; however, this only speeds up the drying out process.
-
Step 2
Prepare your salmon for grilling. It is totally up to you which seasonings to use on your salmon, a few ideas are to simply brush on a little olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Some have had good results with using mayonnaise instead or for a more refined taste use a marinade.
-
Step 3
Prepare your dill sauce. Grate a ½ teaspoon of lemon peel into a small container with 8 ounces of plain low fat yogurt, ¼ cup of cut up green onions, and ¼ cup of freshly snipped dill. Take half of the mixture and pour into a blender, blend until smooth then pour blended mix back into original mixture and stir. Set aside until ready to use.
-
Step 4
Cook your salmon. On an already preheated to approximately 300 to 325 degrees grill, cook salmon on each side for only about four minutes each. The timing for cooking salmon is very important; therefore, for best results never leave it cooking unattended.
-
Step 5
Serve your dish. When ready to serve arrange perfectly cooked salmon on a plate, spoon dilled sauce beside it, and enjoy.
