Ingredients
8 fillets Salmon fillets (8 fillets, 6 ounces each)
1 cup Mayonnaise
1 cup Fresh dill, chopped
3 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Directions
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, fresh chopped dill, and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice. Stir until well mixed and set aside.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.
Place salmon fillets skin-side up on the hot grill. Cook for 5-6 minutes without moving them, allowing them to develop a light char.
Carefully flip the fillets skin-side down. Cook for another 4-6 minutes until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F at the thickest part.
Transfer the cooked salmon to a serving platter. Generously top each fillet with a spoonful of the dill-mayonnaise mixture.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice over each salmon fillet and serve immediately.
Comments
All six ingredients are bare staples at every Charlotte grocer, with no specialty stops needed. At roughly $2.50 per serving for a pound of decent salmon, this is reasonable for a restaurant-quality main; the real cost driver is the fish itself, not the dill or mayo. The 27 minutes is honest—roughly 10 minutes to season and set up, 15 to bake at high heat, 2 to rest—though the phrasing "BBQ" slightly overstates the smokiness you'll get from an oven. This is a low-fuss sheet-pan dinner that reheats decently in a 300-degree oven and feeds a family of eight without drama or last-minute babysitting.
