Ingredients

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped dill, minced garlic, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are well coated.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Remove salmon from the marinade and let excess drip off. Grill, bake, or pan-sear the salmon as desired until just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side on medium-high heat or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Serve immediately with your favorite side salad or seasonal vegetables.
