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.

Loved this simple and delicious recipe! I didn't bother to measure, just eyeballed it and included the dill and parsley in the mayo mix. It's freezing cold outside, so I put the fish on my small PC stone baking pan and used the toaster oven. Broiled for the last two minutes to get some nice color! Delish!!!

This is a keeper! I am reviewing as someone that cooked this outside on a charcoal grill. The flavor was amazing. I only put the mayo on one side and did not turn the salmon. I did not want to risk a flare up. This is amazing flavor. I did add salt and coarse ground black pepper before topping with the mayo. Everyone said: This fish is amazing! WInner! Winner! Just like your win in Football Pool!!
