For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade. Serve with a side of grilled asparagus or a fresh salad for a complete and healthy meal. If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can bake the salmon in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a resealable plastic bag or non-reactive dish, whisk together Dijon mustard, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon pepper, dill, black pepper, and garlic salt. (Estimated time: 5 minutes)
02
Step
2 hrs
Add salmon fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours. (Estimated time: 2 hours)
03
Step
10 mins
Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C) and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (Estimated time: 10 minutes)
04
Step
4 mins
Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the skin to crisp and the flesh to begin to cook through. (Estimated time: 4 minutes)
05
Step
4 mins
Carefully flip the salmon fillets and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches your desired degree of doneness. (Estimated time: 4 minutes)
06
Step
2 mins
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful fillet. (Estimated time: 2 minutes)
