Description

This Low-Carb Grilled Salmon delivers a perfect balance of smoky char and buttery, flaky tenderness. Packed with Omega-3 fatty acids and high-quality protein, it is perfect for busy weeknights or fancy weekend dinners.


Ingredients

Scale

4 fillets (6 oz) Salmon Fillets
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
3 cloves Garlic
1 tablespoon Fresh Dill
1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
1 teaspoon Monk Fruit Sweetener (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F)
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dill, paprika, salt, pepper, and monk fruit sweetener
  4. Brush the marinade over the flesh side of the salmon fillets and let sit for 5-10 minutes
  5. Oil the grill grates using a paper towel and tongs
  6. Place the salmon fillets on the grill flesh-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes
  7. Flip the fillets skin-side down and grill for another 3-4 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F
  8. Remove from grill, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 3 minutes before serving

Notes

Keep the skin on during cooking for better texture and moisture retention.

If using frozen salmon, thaw it completely in the refrigerator before grilling.
