Ingredients
- 2 (4 to 6 ounce) salmon fillets (skinless, but skin on work, too)
- 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed (optional)
- 4 lemon slices, for garnish
- 1 teaspoon parsley, minced for garnish (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill, for garnish (optional)
How to Make
-
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 & Variations
- If you don't want to grill directly on grates, you may want a grill pan or copper grilling sheet.
