Dill Salmon on the BBQ

My husband is obsessed with his bbq... Really obsessed! If it was up to him, he would bbq his toast in the morning. This recipe is a collaboration between the two of us; I dress it - he grills it.  I love using dill with salmon; a hommage to my danish roots and gravad lax, and the bbq adds a nice touch of smokiness.

You Need:
1 fillet of salmon with skin on
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 cup of olive oil
1/3 cup fresh finely chopped dill
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
Mix the olive oil and chopped dill in a small bowl
Clean the salmon and pad dry it. Squeeze the lemon juice on it.
rub the olive oil and dill mixture on the skinless side of the fillet
Add salt and pepper to taste 

Cook on the bbq on direct heat for 4 minutes skin down and 3 minutes on the other side with closed lid. If your fillet is thicker than 1 inch give it a couple of more minutes on each side. 

If you have a long fillet that is thin in the tail end and thick at the head, it might be worth cutting it in half and cook the head end a little longer.

Enjoy!
