For best results, use fresh, high-quality salmon fillets. Wild-caught salmon is often richer in flavor and higher in omega-3 fatty acids. If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can use a grill pan on your stovetop or bake the salmon in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through. Feel free to adjust the amount of lemon juice and cayenne pepper to suit your taste preferences. The dill sauce can be made ahead of time and gently reheated before serving. Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Grill: Preheat your outdoor grill to high heat (approximately 400-450°F or 200-230°C). Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
02
StepGrill the Salmon and Lemon: Place the salmon fillets and thick lemon slices on the hot grill. Grill the salmon until it flakes easily with a fork, about 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Grill the lemon slices until they are slightly charred and softened, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. (10-15 minutes)
03
StepPrepare the Dill Sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk together the water, lemon juice, and cornstarch until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Add the cubed butter to the saucepan. (2 minutes)
04
StepCook the Sauce: Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens into a glossy sauce. This should take approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Be sure to stir continuously to prevent scorching. (5-10 minutes)
05
StepFinish the Sauce: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the quartered lemon slices, snipped fresh dill, sea salt, dried chervil, and cayenne pepper (if using). Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. (2 minutes)
06
StepServe: Serve the grilled salmon immediately, topped with the dill sauce and accompanied by the grilled lemon slices. Garnish with extra fresh dill, if desired.
