Ingredients (2 servings)

2 4-ounce salmon fillets
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon fresh dill (or ½ teaspoon dried)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon honey for slight sweetness (optional)
1 clove garlic, minced (optional)

Instructions

Soak salmon in water for 1–2 hours before cooking to lower potassium.

In a small bowl mix olive oil, lemon juice, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and honey (if using).

Brush the marinade evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.

Put the salmon in the refrigerator for about 15–20 minutes.

Heat a grill to medium and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Place the salmon on the grill skin side down.

Cook for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Serve immediately.
