Step by Step Method
Step 1
Carefully run your finger up the center of the fillet (against the grain) and if you find any pin bones, pull them out with a small pair of needle-nosed pliers.
Step 2
Pat the fillets dry and set aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and lemon juice.
Step 4
Add sesame oil and dill weed, if using.
Step 5
Lightly spread most of the mayo mixture on both sides of the fillets. Set aside the extra mayo to serve.
Step 6
Heat the grill (or grill pan) to medium heat or medium-high heat if using a grill pan or copper sheet.
Step 7
Place the salmon on the grill, skin side down and grill for 3-5 minutes.
Step 8
Turn fillets over and cook another 3 to 4 minutes depending on how thick they are. (I had thick pieces with skin, so turned them several time and got all sided nicely browned and mayo melted.)
Step 9
Sprinkle with parsley and dill, if desired, to serve.
Tips
- If you don't want to grill directly on grates, you may want a grill pan or copper grilling sheet.
